Pugmire hearing is rescheduled

BRIGHAM CITY (AP) — A pretrial hearing on the drunken driving case against Utah State University athletic director Rance Pugmire has been postponed because he has a new attorney.

The hearing before Box Elder County Justice Court Judge Kevin Christensen was to have been last week but rescheduled to April 7. Shannon Demler has replaced Rich Reynolds as defense counsel.

Pugmire was placed on administrative leave last month after he rolled his vehicle on Feb. 15 on I-15 near Willard. He was booked into the Box Elder County Jail, refused to take a breathalyzer test and was released on $1,300 bail.
