ELK RIVER — A court hearing scheduled for today for state Rep. Mark Olson on charges that he assaulted his wife in November has been postponed until February.

The delay came after Olson hired a new attorney.
Olson, a Republican lawmaker from Big Lake, had been scheduled to appear today in Sherburne County District Court on two misdemeanor counts of domestic assault. The new lawyer he hired was unavailable for today’s hearing. His next court date has been set for Feb. 9.
