The preliminary hearing for one of two men accused of a violent armed robbery in June has been continued to next month.

Alex Caprice Sanders, 19, and Deshane Keonte Rayton, 21, are currently held on $200,000 bond in the Douglas County Jail, each on charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery and possession of a gun by a convicted felon.

Both men are accused of forcing their way by gunpoint into an Alabama Street apartment in late June, injuring the woman living there and stealing drugs and personal belongings.

Tuesday morning Sanders appeared in Douglas County District Court, where his attorney, Jim Rumsey, asked for the preliminary hearing to be pushed back to allow more time to work on the case.

Douglas County Judge Peggy Kittel granted Rumsey’s request, scheduling a new preliminary hearing for Sanders on Feb. 9 at 9:30 a.m.

Rayton is not scheduled to appear in court until a status hearing on April 1.
