TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A man who police say fatally stabbed his girlfriend will not have a preliminary hearing until December.

The hearing for 23-year-old Trevor William Adkins of Topeka was scheduled for Thursday but was postponed until Dec. 22. Adkins is charged with the premeditated first-degree murder of 22-year-old Lacie L. Atchison in September. He remains jailed on $1 million bail.

Investigators say Atchison’s body was found on a wheelchair ramp outside the home. The couple’s young child was at the home but not injured. Adkins was arrested after neighbors reported a naked man fighting with another man outside the house.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports Adkins told police after his arrest that he was on a “bad trip” during the alleged crime after using methamphetamine and ecstasy.
