Senior Judge Jon Kolomitz said he was “frustrated” with the continued delays in the case, but scheduled a new arraignment hearing for Aug. 21.
Greenlee was one of the drivers in a five-vehicle crash on Dec. 28 that killed Lucero, 70, of Monte Vista, and left Greenlee and his wife hospitalized with critical injuries. , according to an accident report. The report cited Greenlee’s aggressive driving and improper passing on the left as contributing factors to the crash.
