Warren Abduction Trial Rescheduled

Posted
The Bill E. Warren abduction trial set for today was rescheduled.

The three-day trial that was scheduled to start this morning was rescheduled for Nov. 13-15. Monday afternoon, Alan J. Zimmerman, Warren’s attorney, filed a motion to continue and the request was granted.

Warren, 35, North Manchester is charged with 27 counts, and if convicted on all charges could serve more than 400 years in prison.

The charges result from an Aug. 30, 2010, incident where Warren allegedly abducted a woman and her daughter, locked them in the trunk of his car, then sexually assaulted the mother and fled from police.

Warren is facing charges of strangulation, sexual battery, criminal confinement, battery resulting in serious bodily injury to a person under the age of 14 and resisting law enforcement.
