Counsels agree on a later trial

The trial of Eli D. Fisher, 121 Lancaster St., has been continued until 9 a.m. March 20.

Fisher's trial was scheduled to begin yesterday in Judge Alan Goldsberry's courtroom in the Athens County Court of Common Pleas, according to court records. The trial was continued based on an agreement of counsel.

Fisher faces charges of complicity to possession of marijuana with specification for forfeiture, according to court records. Complicity to possession is helping others obtain, possess or use marijuana. Specification of forfeiture means any personal property connected with the crime can be confiscated.

The charges stem from a police investigation last May at Amerihost Inn, 20 Home St., according to court records.
