Wells trial now set for Nov. 21

Former Carthage R-9 Board of Education member and Carthage police officer Michael Wells' trial, originally scheduled for Nov. 7, has been moved back to Nov. 21. 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.
