Jeremy Giliberti, 51, appeared virtually from a room at the county jail where he's locked up.
Judge Robert Bingham was on the bench for this case and pushed the detention hearing to Monday. This will give the prosecution and defense more time to review the evidence of the case.
Authorities say that Hamilton police pulled Giliberti over last Wednesday along South Broad Street. They say he was driving a green Honda and was stopped in the parking lot of a Metro T-Mobile.
