Court proceedings have been delayed against a St. Joseph teen charged with manslaughter for a crash in April in which four other teenagers died.
Prosecuting Attorney Dwight Scroggins told Judge Daniel Kellogg that investigators are still waiting on lab reports, and don’t know when they’ll get them. Skylar Lucas-Cox is being held without bail on two counts of involuntary manslaughter and one count of 2nd degree assault. His case was continued until August 8 at 8:30 am.
As we reported April 14, a crash in a stolen vehicle on Riverside Road near cook Road claimed the lives of Karlo Ginn, Dayton Crockett, Dasean Darden and Javion Thompson. Three others were injured, including the defendant and the other driver in the crash. Court documents assert Lucas-Cox was driving recklessly in a stolen vehicle, and that after the crash he tested positive for cocaine, marijuana and benzodiazepines.
Lucas-Cox remains in custody at the Buchanan County Jail.
