Sentencing for a Hopkinsville man facing six wanton endangerment charges has been delayed as he finds a new attorney.
Taquavion Coleman and attorney Jason Holland appeared virtually Wednesday before Christian Circuit Judge Andrew Self. During the appearance, Self said a motion had been filed for Holland to withdrawal himself as council for the case.
Coleman added he would need a few weeks to find a new attorney. Judge Self set the next date for the case for Wednesday, June 2, to line up with another case Coleman is involved in.
Coleman was charged with six counts of first-degree wanton endangerment, possession of a handgun by a minor, and tampering with physical evidence after a wreck on Dawson Springs Road the night of January 9.
Kentucky State Police say a car driven by Armon White of Hopkinsville hit the back of Officer Tim Humble’s cruiser near the intersection of West 7th Street just after 8:00. Both drivers, along with passengers in White’s car, Jakiyah Henton and Taquavion Coleman, both of Hopkinsville, were reportedly taken by ambulance to Jennie Stuart Medical Center.
Police say Humble and White were later transported to Nashville hospitals.
Authorities say the car was traveling at a high speed when it struck the officer’s vehicle.
