A Fresno County judge delayed for two weeks an arraignment for the parents and sister of Spencer Scarber on charges of allegedly helping the convicted rapist escape to Mexico.
The delay was sought because the sister, Crystal Reynoso, and mother, Gail Scarber, have not hired lawyers, said Marshall Hodgkins, the lawyer for father Kyle Scarber.
They are accused of three felony counts for allegedly planning and assisting in the escape of 20-year-old Spencer Scarber days before he was convicted of rape in a Fresno County courtroom.
Gail Scarber is charged with two more felony counts, including forgery.
Kyle Scarber, assistant chief for the Fresno-area California Highway Patrol office, also is charged with filing a false police report, a misdemeanor, when he declared his son missing from their Squaw Valley home Dec. 12.
All three remain free on bail.
Judge Jon Skiles set the arraignment for April 3.
