A jury trial has been scheduled in the case of a Marshall man facing felony charges after an alleged assault to a farm hand last February.

During the morning hours of February 28, the Saline County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call in regards to an assault that had taken place on a farm facility just south of Marshall Junction where the victim reportedly suffered fractures and facial trauma as a result of the assault at the hands of 42-year-old Aaron Smith.

Smith is charged with a Class B Felony for Assault in the First Degree.

A two-day jury trial is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. Wednesday, October 6 at Saline County Circuit Court.
