Ohio: New court hearings for Stacie Mullins, 23, Nicholas Reynolds, 17, and Marcus Miller, 18 -- all accused of stealing a baby alpaca, taking turns beating the baby to death and then dumping his battered and broken body at an abandoned farm

OHIO -- It will be back to court Tuesday for two of the alleged participants in the death of a baby alpaca earlier this year.

Stacie Mullins, 23, and Nicholas Reynolds (Nick Reynolds), 17, will go before a Butler County judge to hear motions and set trial dates in connection with the alpaca case.

Reynolds, Mullins and Marcus Miller, 18, are all charged with the February theft and fatal beating of a 3-month-old baby alpaca named Masterpiece.

Police say after chasing him down and dragging the baby alpaca away from his mother, Reynolds, Mullins and Miller took turns beating the crying animal until they killed it. Then they loaded it back onto their truck and dumped his beaten and broken body in an abandoned barn.

Reynolds and Miller are both being tried as adults on the charges.

Tuesday's hearing comes after a wild weekend where Mullins and Reynolds were involved in a police chase that ended in drunk driving charges early Saturday morning.

Reynolds is charged with driving a car 80 to 90 mph on Ohio122 in Madison Township as they tried to flee from police.

As a result of that police chase, a judge revoked Reynolds' $40,000 bond and ordered him held for Tuesday's hearing as well as for other new charges.
