A Salisbury man facing a number of charges including false imprisonment and assault is expected to have his Monday trial postponed, officials confirm.

22-year-old Shaquille Gaskins was scheduled to be tried at 9 a.m. Monday on charges of first degree assault, second degree assault, false imprisonment, dangerous weapon: wear and carry with intent to injure, and reckless endangerment.

According to online court records, Gaskins' charges stem from a March 2016 incident.
