MILLARD COUNTY -- Next week's trial of a man charged as an accomplice in the shooting death of Millard County Deputy Josie Fox will be moved to another county.
Fourth District Court Judge David Eyre decided that the defendant, Ruben Chavez-Reyes, will be tried in neighboring Juab County.
His attorney argued he would not be able to get a fair trial unless the venue was changed.
Chavez-Reyes is charged with obstructing justice for allegedly helping Roberto Roman escape after Roman allegedly shot and killed Deputy Fox during a traffic stop on Jan. 5.
Chavez-Reyes is accused of helping Roman flee to Salt Lake City. Police arrested the two Jan. 6 after finding them asleep in a tool shed in Beaver.
