Washington's attorney, Chris Slusher, and the Boone County Prosecutor's office agreed to the continuance. The prosecutor handling the case, Andrea Hayes, is on maternity leave.

Slusher said having several continuances in a felony case is "not unusual."

Washington is also scheduled to be in court for a hearing on a charge of third-degree domestic assault on March 30. He was charged with domestic assault in September, and that case has been continued four times.
