Former Callaway County Sheriff Clay Chism’s trial will now take place in September.
The decision to push the trial back was made during a pre-trial hearing in Randolph County Court yesterday (Monday) morning.
Chism is charged with driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest, both misdemeanors.
A jury trial was set to start on August 10, however his attorney filed for a motion for continuance, and September 22 is the new tentative trial start date.
