    RE: Concerned

    Check the Escambia county clerk or courts web page in a few days… it should list his info, usually to include the Judge was who set his bond. It is all public information.

    I pray the bond is wrong. So, sad for the injured , let us pray for our nation , this is normal behavior in our society.

    I can not believe this bond,is it a missprint? If not we need to know the judges name who set this bond so we can follow this judges future actions and remember at election time. This is an insult to these people who are seriously injured by some one who was not supposed to be driving in the first place!

    Bond is crazy, there should be no bond for someone that should not have been driving, intoxicated, and under influence of drugs. Wake up law enforcement! Jayne is a sweet lady and I hope everyone will remember her in your prayers along with her passenger.
