(KNZA)--The preliminary hearing for a Hiawatha man charged with alleged sex and drug offenses has been postponed.
48-year-old Jeremy Stover had been scheduled to appear in Brown County courtroom Wednesday morning for his preliminary hearing. However, his court-appointed attorney, John Kurth, of Atchison, requested a continuance. The hearing was rescheduled for the morning of April 5.
Stover has been charged with eight counts—including three felony counts of promoting the sale of sexual relations, three misdemeanor counts of sexual battery, a felony count of distribution of an opioid and misdemeanor count of possession of a depressant.
He was arrested February 26 following an investigation by the Brown County Sheriff's Office.
Stover remains free on a $50,000 bond.
