A Keokuk County judge has delayed the trial of Keokuk County Sheriff Jeff Shipley on a drunken driving charge.  Shipley’s trial was to take place October 3, but a judge granted a continuance.

A new trial date has not yet been announced.  The judge scheduled a pretrial conference to be held February 15.  Iowa online court records indicate Shipley waived his right to a speedy trial.

Shipley was arrested July 27 after being pulled over in Sigourney.
