A Preliminary Hearing for James Rocky Allan is scheduled for late this morning in Linn County District Court. Allen is accused of killing his mother, 70 year old Charlotte Grimes of Garnett in December of 2020. In November, a judge reduced his bail from one million dollars to $250,000, which Allan made and was released. His defense attorney has submitted into evidence, a private investigator’s accident reconstruction, which they maintain proves the impact and subsequent injuries that Allen suffered when he struck his mothers vehicle, point to the collision being unintentional.
The hearing is scheduled for 11:30 this morning in Linn County District Court.
