The charges arose out of a June 14, 1979, incident. Defendant was not arrested until October 10, 1979. Prior to trial, he moved to dismiss the charges due to the four-month delay between the alleged offenses and his arrest. The court denied the motion and defendant challenges that denial on appeal.
