Setting of preliminary hearing for former correctional deputy Ricardo Aguirre Perez scheduled today was continued to May 4 because none of the defendants can be represented by Public Defenders and they need to find private attorneys for all of them. Just arraignment is leading to continuances.
He has several charges including conspiracy to commit a crime and attempting to bring contraband into the jail.
Mr. Russ Clanton had been originally appointed to represent Perez but Mr. Joe Judge is representing him now. One co-defendant Caleb Hoffarth is represented by Mr. Zachary Curtis. Two other co-defendants were scheduled to be arraigned today.
Selina Chavez Robles who is only charged with one count; conspiracy to commit a crime will be represented by Mr. Victor Campos. She waived time. Penni Hoffarth was not arraigned because they could not find a private attorney for her so her arraignment was continued to May 4.
