Jury trial is still tentatively set for this summer in a Lyon County criminal case involving charges of kidnapping, indecent liberties, aggravated burglary and other offenses.
A motion hearing Wednesday in the case against Daniel Olivarez did not change the current docket schedule, meaning a trial status hearing Aug. 6 is the next date of note, barring any changes. Jury trial is tentatively set to begin Aug. 11 and last all that week.
Olivarez remains charged with aggravated indecent liberties, aggravated kidnapping, kidnapping, aggravated robbery, aggravated residential burglary, aggravated battery and aggravated assault. He’s also charged with witness intimidation, violating a protection order, interference with law enforcement and criminal threat. In addition to the alleged indecent liberties charges, Olivarez has been accused of holding several people inside an Emporia home at gunpoint, having one of the alleged victims drive him to another location and then forcing a better than three-hour standoff before surrendering to local authorities.
