In a recent court session, the case of Mister Gross, charged with felony possession of a firearm, was a focal point of discussion. The court addressed the lack of bond for Gross, who is currently held without bail due to multiple charges, including possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. The judge noted Gross's criminal history, which includes a manslaughter conviction and a prior felony for receiving stolen property, emphasizing that he should not be around firearms.
The court also discussed the specifics of Gross's charges, which include possession of methamphetamine and meth residue in separate cases. The judge indicated that while Gross was a passenger in a vehicle containing a handgun, the evidence for his direct possession was not strong. However, given his history, a $15,000 surety bond was set, applicable to all three charges.
Additionally, the session included discussions on other defendants, such as Christopher Hughes, who faces charges related to DUI and possession of meth and fentanyl. Hughes's case is set for negotiation on September 5, alongside other cases being reviewed.
Wesley Rainshe was also arraigned on multiple charges, including possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and illegal hunting. His case is scheduled for negotiation on the same dates as Hughes's.
The court proceedings reflect ongoing efforts to manage cases involving serious charges while ensuring that defendants are afforded their rights in the legal process.
