WAKEENEY — Jury selection was scheduled to conclude today in the first-degree murder trial of Scott Robert Bollig in Trego County District Court, according to court dockets.
In addition to the murder charge, Bollig also faces charges of aggravated battery, distribution of adulterated food, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit aggravated battery.
Those charges were brought after Bollig, a WaKeeney resident, allegedly put a drug in his former girlfriend’s food that terminated her pregnancy before the tenth week. Investigators say Bollig, age 30 at the time of his February 2014 arrest, is accused of obtaining the abortion-inducing drug, mifepstrone, then crushing and sprinkling it on pancakes that were later eaten by the woman.
Testimony is scheduled to begin Thursday, and the trial is scheduled through Nov. 20. District Judge Glenn Braun is presiding over the case.
