Westmoreland County Judge Meagan Bilik-DeFazio has ruled that the Ray Shetler Jr. case will remain on the trial list to start next Monday.
The 37-year-old Shetler is charged with two counts of aggravated assault and single counts of disarming a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest for brawling with sheriff’s deputies and state troopers who found him hiding at his girlfriend’s mobile home outside of Seward in December. Authorities had been searching for him after he skipped a probation hearing.
Shetler had demanded that his trial be held in June but Bilik-DeFazio delayed it until August 15th.
Shetler’s girlfriend, Keeley Shay Morgan, is scheduled for Plea Court today on a single charge of hindering apprehension. The trailer’s owner, Kenneth Krouse, is also awaiting court action on the same charge.
