The arraignment hearing of two-time National League Cy Young award winner and University of Washington alum Tim Lincecum was rescheduled for Jan. 19 in response to a request by the pitcher’s attorney.
The San Francisco Giants star was ordered to appear in court by Judge Darvin Zimmerman to finalize a plea agreement turning a pair misdemeanor charges into civil infraction for possession of a marijuana pipe.
The hearing was initially scheduled today at 8:30 a.m. But Lincecum’s attorney asked that the court to reschedule the pitcher’s arraignment. The hearing is now set for Jan. 19 at 8:30 a.m.
When he appears in court – and it’s entirely possible the date will be reset again – Lincecum, 25, will pay a $250 fine for possession of drug paraphernalia that was found after he was stopped Oct. 30 for speeding doing 74 mph in a 60 mph zone near Hazel Dell while northbound on Interstate 5.
