(KNZA)--A hearing on a motion requesting a change of venue for a Highland man charged in connection with events surrounding a suspicious death is now set for October 30th.
A jury trial for Morton Alfrey had been scheduled for this week in Doniphan County District Court.
Alfrey pleaded “ not guilty” in April to felony charges of aggravated intimidation of a witness and obstruction of apprehension or prosecution along with a misdemeanor count of unlawfully hosting minors consuming alcoholic beverages.
The charges arise from a party that authorities say was held at Alfrey’s home the night of January 5th, which allegedly included several minors consuming alcohol. A Highland police officer responding to a call at the residence found the body of 30-year-old John Paul Jenkins.
Alfrey was arrested January 23rd following an investigation by the Highland Police Department and Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
