Hearing continued in slaying probe
SCRANTON - A preliminary hearing for a man accused of harboring a fugitive wanted for murder was continued Tuesday so all of the co-defendants in the case could have the same court date.
Devante Graham, 18, address unknown, was arrested May 18 on charges he hindered the apprehension of Ryan Harding by harboring him in Scranton while Mr. Harding was on the run. A new date for his preliminary hearing has not been set. Mr. Graham also faces three unrelated drug charges.
Mr. Harding, 18, 519 Taylor Ave., was arraigned Friday for the May 5 murder of 22-year-old Lackawanna College student Rahsan Crowder. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 3. Marlon Clotter, 21, 1024 Capouse Ave., faces similar murder charges for urging Mr. Harding to fire the fatal shot. A preliminary hearing date has not been scheduled after his first court date was continued on May 15.
Kristopher Adkins, 18, 626 S. Irving Ave., is accused of driving Mr. Harding out of state and charged with three felony counts of hindering apprehension and misdemeanor obstruction of justice. His preliminary hearing is still scheduled for Wednesday.
