An attempt to oust Fisher County Precinct 3 Commissioner Preston Martin has been delayed.
Judge Ernie Armstrong, filling in for Judge Glenn Harrison of the 32nd District Court, announced that "additional matters need to be prepared and a future date and time will be set".
The judge made the decision after talking to council for both sides in chambers.
Court was scheduled for 9 a.m. The announcement was made at 11 a.m., leaving spectators, plaintiff, and defendant in suspense for two hours.
The hearing today was to determine if Martin should be allowed to finish his term in the wake of being accused and arrested for felony theft of $30,000 or more and tampering with time sheets.
The felony case has not yet gone to trial.
Martin is currently serving a four-year term, 2021-2025. He has been Precinct 3 Commissioner since 2009.
