The arraignment of three Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials accused of handcuffing a jail inmate to a wall for hours has been delayed until February.

Deputy James Hawkins, Sgt. David Moser and retired Sgt. Rex Taylor were scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Santa Clarita, but Moser’s attorney filed a motion challenging the charges against his client.

Attorneys for Hawkins and Taylor plan to join the motion, which, if granted, would result in the dismissal of the case.

The arraignment has been rescheduled for Feb. 18.
