Man charged with kidnapping pregnant Wisconsin teen seeks trial delay

DODGE COUNTY, Wis (CIVIC MEDIA) – The man accused of kidnapping a pregnant Wisconsin teen and taking her across the country wants his federal trial delayed.

Attorneys for 40-year-old Gary Day asked a federal judge in Arkansas to delay his trial because he’s still being held in a Wisconsin jail on $2 million bond. Day faces multiple charges in Dodge County, including child enticement and child abduction, in addition to numerous federal charges in the 2024 abduction of the pregnant 16-year-old from her parents’ home in Beaver Dam.

Federal prosecutors did not object to the request. Day had been scheduled to stand trial next month in Little Rock. Additional details on the kidnapping can be read here.
