A Marshall man charged with multiple felonies following an incident on March 29 is due in court this week.

According to the Marshall Police Department, Justin Ethan Scharnhorst was taken into custody in April on several active warrants in reference to domestic-assault investigations.

According to court documents, Scharnhorst is charged with felonies for unlawful possession of a firearm, domestic assault in the third degree and unlawful use of a weapon- exhibiting; as well as a misdemeanor for kidnapping. The court has ordered no bond. His motion for bond reduction was denied.

With his case bound over to the trial division, Scharnhorst waived his preliminary hearing and pleaded not guilty on June 7. A plea/trial-setting hearing is scheduled to be held at 9 a.m. on Monday, August 30, at Saline County Circuit Court.
