"A court hearing for a former South Bend police officer accused of possessing and delivering steroids was adjourned Tuesday.
It was the second postponement of a pre-exam for Tony Wayne Macik of Edwardsburg.
Cass County Drug Prosecutor Tiffany Vohwinkle asked that the initial hearing be postponed until drug testing can be properly conducted.
Vohwinkle told 4th District Judge Stacey Rentfrow that the Grand Rapids drug lab does not have equipment to test liquid steroids, which the prosecutor's office was recently notified about.
"We're waiting for a transport to Detroit. They can test it within a week of receiving it," she said about a testing center in Detroit.
Macik's attorney, Fred Taylor, did not object to the adjournment.
Macik was arraigned last month on three controlled substance charges, the creation/delivery of an analogue (steroids) and two counts of possession of analogues.
Macik's new court date is planned for Jan. 6. He bonded out of jail.
