Ivan Beaulieu was scheduled for a preliminary hearing, but Prosecuting State Attorney, Kendra Lewison stated they have been preparing a plea negotiation and Beaulieu intends to waive his right to a prelim.
Judge, William Malcolm did accept his waiver to his preliminary hearing and set Beaulieu’s case for arraignment on February 2nd at 10:30 a.m.
