A Kidder Township man who allegedly struck his mother with a BB gun, and then shot her with it, has waived his preliminary hearing.
Dale Michael Wakefield, 20, of Albrightsville, faces 12 charges in connection with an incident that happened during the early morning hours of Sept. 2.
Wakefield was scheduled to have a hearing on the charges before District Judge Edward Lewis of Jim Thorpe, but opted to waive the proceedings to Carbon County Court.
