Bondsman Has Preliminary Hearing in Fugitive Incident

Yesterday, the Lake Sun Leader reported that that bondsman David Vinson of Camdenton has been bound over to circuit court in the incident which occurred in Morgan County when Vinson attempted to apprehend fugitive Ronald Brown. Vinson was charged with five felonies in mid-October while trying to apprehend Brown. According to the report, Vinson had tracked Brown to a home in Versailles. Brown managed to escape, but only after Vinson allegedly shot out the back window of the SUV Brown was trying to escape in. Vinson was charged with assault in the first degree, assault in the second degree, discharging/shooting a firearm at or from a motor vehicle, unlawful use of a weapon and tampering with a motor vehicle in the first degree. He was taken into custody by the Versailles Police Department and held on a $50,000 cash-only bond. His bond was later reduced $25,000, 10 percent cash or surety and posted bond through one of his agents.
