The preliminary hearing for a man charged crimes after an accident in the county back in March was continued until a later date.
Tanner Nicks was arrested after Dawson Harris was taken to a Wichita hospital as a result of the accident. E-M-S and Sheriff’s Deputies were sent to Trails West and Salem Roads, near Abbyville. When they arrived, they found Harris with head injuries and in serious condition.
Deputies found there was a party at a nearby home and the victim had passed out. Friends put him in the bed of their truck and headed to Hutchinson. When the individuals arrived at Hutchinson they found Harris was no longer in the bed of the truck.
The friends, along with the victims brother, back tracked and found him at Trails West and Salem. Harris was transported to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center because Life Team was grounded due to weather. He was later transferred to a Wichita hospital for further treatment.
No new date for the hearing has been announced.
