Courts grant continuations in two area cases
A continuation was granted yesterday in Douglas County Court in the trial of a Honolulu man, Raymond Robinson, on charges stemming from a 1974 air travel incident at the University of Kansas Students and Lawrence residents of several thousand dollars.
Charges filed in 1974 include two misdemeanor battery charges, three counts of theft by deception and an insufficient funds check charge.
Feb. 22 has been set as the date for Robinson's trial on the battery charge and preliminary hearing for the felony check and grand theft charges.
County attorney Mike Malone said he had asked for the continuance so that additional witnesses could be contacted. Any inquiries could be asked to contact the county attorney's office.
Robinson was extradited from Oakland, Calif., last month after Oakland police checked him for a municipal violation and found he was wanted in Lawrence on criminal charges. He is in the Douglas County jail. Bond has been set at $30,000.
Douglas County prosecutors filed the felony cheek and grand theft charges against Robinson after unsuccessful attempts had been made to contact him.
