The 22-year-old Pocatello man who allegedly hit and killed a Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy and his wife last month waived his preliminary hearing Wednesday morning in court.

Jason R. Meyer appeared in front of Judge David Evans in Bannock County court Wednesday with his attorney Aaron Thompson and waived his preliminary hearing.  Meyer is facing two counts of vehicular manslaughter and one count of leaving the scene of an accident after allegedly hitting the couple on their motorcycle on Pocatello Creek Road September 15th. 

Meyer's attorney did have Judge Evans grant a stipulation to have Meyer receive counseling while he's in jail.  Meyer will now appear in district court next Monday.  He remains in the Bannock County Jail on a $300,000 bond.
