Judge David Nibert denied bond yesterday for Christopher Cox, 19, who has
been indicted for the murder of Russell Metz.
Nibert said he had little information on which to consider bonding Cox,
indicating he is concerned that Cox might represent a danger to the
community.
Cox made his motion for bond through his court-appointed attorney Shannon
Baldwin.
Cox allegedly shot and stabbed Metz in a cabin near U. S. 33-119 at the
Calhoun-Roane line.
At least eight individuals appeared in court for arraignment, some of them
being indicted by a Calhoun grand jury last week.
Joseph J. Delesio, 50, formerly of Big Bend, plead not guilty to a charge of
wanton endangerment. Delesio was indicated last week for an incident where
he allegedly fired a weapon during a dispute at the Hilltop Inn on Route 5. One
shot reportedly went through the bar's TV set.
Big Bend resident Sam Roberts, 40, plead guilty to 3rd offense DUI, which
placed him in the state pen for a period of not less than one year or more than
three years. He could be facing a $5000 fine.
Marvin Holstein of Arnoldsburg, who was indicted for the possession of four
marijuana plants with intent to deliver, plead not guilty with his court
appointed attorney Shannon Baldwin.
