An Aug. 25 trial date for a Sequim man who allegedly hit a teen boy with his car and drove off has been postponed.

The six-day trial was set to begin later this month for Cole William Douglas, 22, in Clallam County Superior Court, but his defense attorney William Payne didn’t think the current trial date was viable due to the amount of discovery, according to court documents.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Steven Johnson did not object.

Judge Simon Barnhart agreed on July 30 to strike the trial start date and schedule a hearing to set a new trial start date at 9 a.m. Aug. 28.

Lawyers previously agreed that discovery evidence was large and the trial date might need to be extended, but a start date was set anyway.

Payne also asked on July 30 for more time to speak with Douglas about waiving his right to a speedy trial.

Douglas pleaded not guilty on June 6 to felony charges of hit-and-run with injury, and vehicular assault for a hit-and-run incident that injured a 13-year-old boy (Colton Dufour) out skateboarding with friends around 9 p.m. on March 31 on the 600 block of West Spruce Street behind Safeway. Dufour’s mother previously reported her son was struck from behind and faces months of rehabilitation therapy.

Douglas was arrested on May 21 in Oklahoma, flown back to Clallam County, and booked in Clallam County Jail on May 23.

Judge Brent Basden set Douglas’ bail at $20,000, which Douglas posted on May 29.

The vehicle suspected to have been involved in the incident, a 1996 Lexus sedan, was also located in Muskogee, Oklahoma.

A Washington state warrant went out for Douglas’s arrest on April 8, and a nationwide warrant went out on May 8.

Douglas does not have a criminal history. For each charge he could face up to five and 10 years and $10,000 and $20,000 in fines.
