A warrant has been issued for a man charged with leaving his nephew for dead in North Huntingdon Township as he did not show up for a court hearing.
The Trib reports that the lawyer for Jeffrey Carlson said his client claimed work obligations kept him from attending the hearing in which he was to plead guilty to lesser charges of reckless endangerment and abuse of a corpse related to the death of 26-year-old Michael W. Debruyn of Hempfield, whose body was found Aug. 10 in a parking lot near the MedExpress Urgent Care near Route 30 in North Huntingdon. As he did not show up, a plea was not entered.
The DA’s office has not commented on the proceedings.
