The attorney for Tad Cummins has filed a motion to withdraw from the case. The judge set a hearing for this upcoming Tuesday for Brent Horst, who wants to be relieved of his duties. It’s unclear why Horst wants to be removed; the original motion was filed under seal, so it’s not available. Cummins, a former Maury County Tennessee teacher, faces federal charges for allegedly kidnapping his former student in Columbia, Tennessee and leading authorities on a nationwide manhunt. Cummins has been in jail since April 2017. He is set to go to trial April 17, 2018.
