The Austin Ayers Trial has been postponed.

The Armstrong Clerk of courts office has no explanation or reasoning for the trial postponement, but a source familiar with the case says that Ayers was offered a 6 year probation deal, but first must undergo serious mental health evaluations and treatment before any such deal can go into place.

Even more bizarre is the lack of record of such a deal on official court records.

The Armstrong County District Attorney’s office was unavailable to comment at the time of this writing.
