The preliminary hearing of the Schuylkill County man charged in the death of his grandmother has been continued.

The hearing for Kalvin Clark, 32, of Pine Grove, was set for 1 p.m. Thursday but is now 11:30 a.m. Feb. 18 in Magisterial District Judge David Rossi’s courtroom.

Clark remains in the Schuylkill County Prison unable to post $250,000 straight cash bail.

State police at Schuylkill Haven charged Clark with aggravated assault and simple assault in the death of Sharon Zimmerman, his 73-year-old grandmother last month.

The Schuylkill County Communications Center received a call 3:15 p.m. Jan. 24 for an elderly woman who slipped in the shower and had cuts. Schuylkill EMS responded at 3:17 p.m. to 89 N. Tulpehocken St. and found Zimmerman dead. Police were then called.

Police say Clark admitted he and the victim had an argument before her death. Charging documents detail what police say took place involving Clark and the victim before she died.
