Ex-Lions WR Titus Young has new court date, faces another hearing
Former Detroit Lions receiver Titus Young's hearing on if he will stand trial on five counts of battery has been moved, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Young’s preliminary hearing was scheduled for Friday in Compton, California. It is now scheduled for Sept. 4.
Young, 25, is accused of knocking out his former attorney last month. He faces one felony count of battery with serious bodily injury, and four misdemeanor counts of battery on school, park or hospital property.
Young is also scheduled to have a pretrial hearing on Sept. 10 in West Covina, California, on a reckless driving charge. Young remains behind bars in Los Angeles on a $105,000 bond for the battery complaint, and a $25,000 bond for the reckless driving charge.
