The man charged after an 11-hour standoff at the Motel Six in St. Joseph last year will have to wait until November to have his case heard before a jury.

Roderick Ellis, 44 of St. Joseph is charged with felonies for kidnapping, domestic assault, two counts of armed criminal action and assault or attempted assault on a law enforcement officer. The charges stem from an incident that took place in October. He’s accused of kidnapping a St Joseph woman, forcing her at gunpoint to drive her to the motel, and then, when she cried for help, shooting her in the arm.

Investigators said he then forced the woman into a room at the motel for more than 11 hours. The standoff prompted evacuations and lockdowns, as well as business and highway closures.

A Jury Trial was scheduled Monday in front of Judge Patrick Robb for Nov. 1 at 9 a.m.  Until then Ellis remains behind bars without bond.
