A teenager behind bars for allegedly killing a Fort Carson soldier and his pregnant wife is now facing new charges.
Macyo January, 19, faces new charges of assault and harassment, but the reason why has not been released. The charges stem from crimes January allegedly committed while locked up for the murders of Staff Sergeant David Dunlap and Whitney Butler. Both were shot to death as they entered their home during a burglary in progress in early 2013.
January is currently awaiting trial for the double murder, and returned to court Tuesday. He waived his right to a speedy trial–something requested because DNA evidence in the case was taking longer than expected to be processed. January’s trial will now be in August instead of this month.
11 News is working to get the court papers that will detail the new charges, including whether the alleged crimes were against a fellow inmate or possibly a deputy or jail staff.
