The trial for Darrell James Wigham, 29, of Austin has been postponed to Nov. 13 with a pre-trial scheduled for Oct. 25.

Wigham’s trial was originally scheduled for July 23 with a pre-trial on July 13; however, the defense requested on Friday that time be given for further investigation, according to Mower County Attorney Kristen Nelsen.

Wigham faces three counts of felony attempted first-degree murder-premeditated, three counts of felony attempted first-degree murder-with intent while committing a felony and felony first-degree arson, stemming from a March 7 incident in which he allegedly set fire to the residence at 304 11th Ave. SW while three people were inside. The three individuals told police they had seen Wigham earlier that morning dousing a doorway with paint thinner and had threatened to burn down the house.

He is also awaiting trial on charges of felony theft of a motor vehicle, felony theft of movable property, gross misdemeanor possession of stolen property for allegedly stealing his roommate’s car and felony fourth-degree assault on a correctional employee after he allegedly assaulted an officer at the jail.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
