A Waynesboro man charged with three counts of homicide, kidnapping, and a slew of other related charges waived his preliminary hearing this morning.
Just after 10a.m. Friday morning, Kevin Cleeves, 35, waived his preliminary hearing in front of District Judge Larry Pentz at the Franklin County Jail. His case will head to Franklin County court and he is scheduled to be arraigned at the end of November.
On July 27th, court documents said Cleeves shot and killed his estranged wife, Brandi Cleeves; her boyfriend, Vincent Santucci; and his mother Rosemary Holmes at Santucci's home on Anthony Highway in Quincy Township, Franklin County.
Court documents say Cleeves was drinking shortly before he went to the home to pick up his four-year-old daughter Leia.
The two men apparently argued and that's when Cleeves said he pulled out a gun and shot and killed the three people.
Cleeves took off with his daughter, who witnessed the shootings, prompting Pennsylvania State Police to issue an Amber Alert.
The next morning, they were found in a parking lot at a hotel in Austintown, Ohio and his daughter was unharmed.
Cleeves was arrested in Ohio and waived his right to fight extradition in Ohio courts. He was brought back to the Franklin County Jail days later.
On August 29th, the Franklin County District Attorney's Office filed a motion to prevent Cleeves from seeing or being in contact with the victim's families and daughter.
Cleeves will appear at an arraignment hearing in Franklin County court on November 28th at 1pm.
