SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A Utah man accused of killing his father and fleeing to Colorado made his first court appearance in Utah on murder charges.
James Main Jr. was assigned an attorney Monday. The 35-year-old has not yet entered a plea to 10 charges he faces in Utah, including aggravated murder.
Defense attorney Grant “Bill” Morrison says he has not yet had a chance to speak with Main or review the case.
Prosecutors say Main Jr.’s father was found fatally shot in October in Roosevelt, Utah. Police say the father had called police earlier, citing concerns about his son’s behavior.
Police say Main Jr. kidnapped two people in Utah, fled to Colorado and led police on chases, kidnapped a woman and stole cars.
The Deseret News (https://bit.ly/2n7AAoq) reports Main is expected to face charges in Colorado after his Utah case concludes.
