(Atlantic) Online court records indicate the second trial on numerous charges for 30-year-old Anthony Asay, of Atlantic, has been moved to September. The request for a continuance was filed Friday, by Asay’s Attorney, Robert J. Engler. Asay’s trial was set to take place August 2nd in Cass County District Court.

Asay stands accused of Willful Injury Causing Bodily Injury, Assault Causing Bodily Injury or Mental Illness, and Possession of a Controlled Substance. His new jury trial date is September 27th at 9:30 a.m., with a Pretrial Conference on September 19th.

The charges stem from an alleged stabbing incident on Cedar Street in May. Nearly two weeks ago, a separate jury found Anthony Asay Not Guilty on the charges of Attempted Murder, Arson 1st Degree and Assault Causing Bodily Injury in connection with a house fire on Cedar Street on May 4th.
