Former Carthage board member trial delayed again

Former Carthage R-9 Board of Education member and Carthage police officer Michael Wells' trial, originally scheduled for Nov. 7, then postponed until Nov. 21, has been delayed again with no new date scheduled, according to court records.
Wells is charged with forcible rape, sexual assault and two counts of incest, in connection with incidents that allegedly occurred on Sept. 1, 1994, and April 1, 2001.
During an Oct. 20 arraignment, Wells entered a not guilty plea on a separate charge of violation of a protection order. The next hearing in that case is scheduled for Dec. 8 in Jasper County Circuit Court.
