Floyd County Murder Trail Delayed

There’s been a postponement in the murder trial of a Wayland man who was charged more than six years ago.

Wesley Martin was arrested in February 2019 after the body of Jordan Tackett was found buried in a shallow grave on Martin’s property.

Mountain Top News reports his trial was set to start this coming Monday but his attorney asked for a continuance because he has another murder trial in another county.

Yesterday the judge granted the postponement.

A hearing will be next month to set a new trial date.
