Homicide suspect probation violation hearing continued in unrelated case
A probation revocation hearing scheduled in Butler County Court on Friday was continued in an unrelated case against a Butler man charged in the homicide of a 4-year-old boy.
Keith Jordan Lambing, 20, was scheduled before county Judge Timothy McCune for the hearing on a 2016 fleeing case, but proceedings were continued until the resolution of other cases against him, according to his attorney, Public Defender Charles Nedz.
In a filing from the Butler County Adult Probation Office, it is alleged that Lambing violated his probation on the 2016 conviction of misdemeanor fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement, to which he pleaded guilty and received a 12 month probation sentence, by not reporting as directed, not submitting to drug and alcohol testing and being charged in two other cases. Those cases included burglary and related charges on March 8, and with criminal homicide and rape in the death of Bentley Thomas Miller after an incident on March 21 in Butler Township.
