HOLLIDAYSBURG A competency hearing was put on hold Tuesday for the Hollidaysburg man who allegedly admitted to threatening the Hollidaysburg Area School District in November 2019.
Blair County Judge Daniel J. Milliron, who was to preside over the hearing for Javier Alberto Cantos Jr., agreed to the delay after learning that efforts are progressing toward having Cantos render guilty pleas to some criminal charges in exchange for a recommended sentence.
If those efforts to reach a plea do not work out within 60 days, then the competency hearing should be rescheduled, Milliron said.
Defense attorney David Beyer told the judge he has been talking to District Attorney Pete Weeks about a possible resolution addressing Cantos’ criminal charges, with guilty pleas to some felony offenses excluding ones associated with the school district threats.
