Arraignment delayed for East Fourth Street murder suspect

There was a delay for arraignment in Christian Circuit Court Wednesday morning for 32-year old Tavaris Quarles of Hopkinsville, who is accused in the May shooting death of 33-year-old Christopher Montrell Mumford on East Fourth Street.

Defense attorney Sands Chewning explained to Judge John Atkins that Quarles is currently lodged in the Crittenden County Jail as a federal inmate and that’s why he wasn’t present for what was to have been his arraignment.

Judge Atkins scheduled a September 14 court date for arraignment.
