Two defendants in a combination hit-and-run and kidnapping case are back in Lyon County District Court for a hearing Tuesday.
Mariah Lopez and Analysa Tamez have pretrial hearings at 2 pm after waiving their preliminary hearings in late September. This is typically the hearing when potential trial dates are set.
Lopez and Tamez were charged after an incident Aug. 2 at Ninth and East. Emporia Police officers have said both were in an SUV that hit a cyclist. Investigators say they then put the cyclist in the SUV and drove her around for around 30 minutes before releasing her.
Lopez has been charged with single counts of kidnapping, criminal restraint, witness or victim intimidation and other charges. Tamez has been charged with single counts of kidnapping, aggravated battery, witness or victim intimidation, criminal restraint, failure to stop at an accident resulting in great bodily harm and other charges.
