Court sets $200,000 bond with GPS for Jonathan Dreamer

The court called State v. Jonathan Dreamer and heard defense argument and evidence related to bond. Defense counsel described Dreamer’s family resources and asked for a lower bond; the defendant testified about available family assistance and bail resources. The court reviewed the record, cited controlling law, and announced: "the court will set your bond at $200,000" (SEG 1371).

The judge imposed conditions of no contact with the complainant and full GPS monitoring; fees for GPS were waived. The court also directed parties to provide discovery and set a discovery date for Dec. 18 so the court could review relevant materials before further disposition. The judge instructed clerks to prepare a written form describing the court’s ruling and to have parties sign acknowledging notice of the decision.

Defense argued that some counts may be dismissed and suggested a lower figure; the court noted recent case law bearing on bond entitlement but proceeded to set the amount on the record. The record shows the court admitted states exhibits for review and then withdrew them for evidentiary purposes before ruling. Parties were given dates for follow-up and the clerk was ordered to enter the court’s rulings in the system.
