An 18-year-old accused of first-degree murder in a 2014 homicide will remain in custody until his next hearing three weeks from now.
Normally, defendants are entitled to a hearing within 10 days of their arrest in Hamilton County’s lower courts.
Jacob Allison, however, was already on supervised release for his alleged role in the 2014 Lookout Valley triple homicide when he was arrested Friday night on assault and vandalism charges.
As a result, attorneys rescheduled his next court date for Feb. 16 today in General Sessions Court.
“He’s going to be in custody for a while,” assistant district attorney David Schmidt said. “So I don’t believe the 10-day rule is really relevant. Therefore, we can put this case out a couple of weeks.”
