FARMINGTON — A judge set a felony arraignment hearing for the man charged with the murder of 4-year-old Ethan Stacy.

Nathan Sloop, 33, carrying a large, clear, plastic bag filled with legal documents, appeared Tuesday before Judge Glen Dawson, who set May 22 for the hearing. At that time, Sloop is expected to enter either a plea of not guilty or guilty to the charges stemming from the boy’s death on May 9, 2010.

Sloop, and his wife, Stephanie Sloop, 29, both of Layton, are each charged with aggravated murder, second-degree felony child abuse, second-degree felony obstruction of justice and third-degree felony abuse or desecration of a body.
