A White County man whose attorney asked the court to allow him to withdraw from the case because the man had not kept in contact with him was admonished in court and was advised he could be facing jail time if it continues.
David Wayne Chennault, 61, Viola Rd., Sparta, is charged with aggravated assault in a case that occurred in June 2019 outside a Main St. business in Crossville.
He is accused in the indictment of choking a 68-year-old Cow Pen Rd. man who was in a wheelchair at the time.
Crossville attorney Nathan Clouse told the court he has been unable to prepare a defense for Chennault because he has not heard from his client. He filed a motion in October to withdraw from the case.
