PEORIA -- A father accused of running over his own daughter because she was "too westernized" pleaded not guilty Monday morning.  

Faleh Hassan Almaleki is now facing some new charges in connection with the case.

Two previous arraignment hearings were postponed because Almaleki was on suicide watch.

Prosecutors believe he drove his SUV into his 20-year-old daughter, Noor, and her boyfriend's mother on purpose.

Originally, he was charged with assault but after Noor passed away from her injuries, prosecutors moved to file more charges.
