One of three people charged with hindering prosecution in the February death of a Walker County teenager had his charges dropped today.

Colton Stephen Echols, 20, was charged with felony hindering prosecution in the shooting of 19-year-old Nicholas Hawkins.

Echols was charged after police said he lied to authorities and rendered "criminal assistance" to Joshua Adam Reese, who was charged with murder in Hawkins' death.

Two other people were charged in the teen's murder: Cory Daniel Conner and Danny Lee Jarvis.

Echols, Lawanda Reese, and Tessa Wise were all charged with hindering prosecution in the case.

The charges against Lawanda Reese and Wise still stand. Both cases have been sent to a grand jury.

Not guilty plea entered in Hawkins' brutal death

A 22-year-old Walker County man who has been called the triggerman in the February 2016 death of a Dora teenager was in court Thursday morning for an arraignment hearing.

Joshua Adam Reese entered a plea of not guilty and/or not guilty by mental disease or defect in front of Walker County Circuit Judge Hoyt Elliott. Reese is currently being held in the Walker County Jail on a $500,000 cash bond.

“My client pleaded not guilty or not guilty by mental disease, because that leaves the door open for more possible defenses for him,” Jasper attorney Justin Forrester said. “We want to be able to pursue any defense that might be available to my client.”

A scheduling conference for the case was set by Elliott for July 6. No timetable is available for when the case might go to trial.

Lawanda Reese was also in court for arraignment Thursday, entering a plea of not guilty as well. Arraignment dates for the other defendants in the slaying were not immediately available.
