The criminal case against a Marion man accused of shooting a teenager in the face over the summer is headed once again for trial.
Appearing back in Flathead County District Court on Nov. 9 for a scheduled change of plea hearing, Ross Barker, 70, instead opted to move ahead with the felony assault with a weapon case. He similarly indicated his intent to dispute allegations he violated a suspended five-year sentence with the state Department of Corrections on a 2021 felony criminal endangerment conviction.
He previously pleaded not guilty to assault with a weapon in connection with the alleged shooting in August.
