A preliminary hearing connected to an alleged standoff in Emporia earlier this summer has been delayed.
Dwayne Lamont Ford was originally set for a prelim Wednesday, but that got moved to Oct. 11. Prosecutors had requested the continuance with a material witness unable to appear this week.
Ford faces four counts of aggravated assault against law enforcement, one count of interference with law enforcement and one count of domestic battery. He was arrested in late June after alleged involvement in a domestic disturbance and allegedly greeting local law enforcement with a machete in hand.
