Garrett S. Warfield
A bond reduction has been denied for a Maryville man charged earlier this year with five counts of Possession of Child Pornography.
As we previously reported, 23-year-old Garrett Warfield was charged in March after a tip in January to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children led the Western Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force to start an investigation.
Nodaway County Prosecutor Bob Rice said during a court appearance Wednesday, Warfield voluntarily waived his rights to a preliminary hearing with his Attorney David Bell present.
Rice said the defendant also had a motion for a bond reduction however, after a brief argument with evidence presented from Bell claiming his client was not a flight risk the prosecutor made his own objections.
“At the end of the day the Judge left it at $100,000 cash or surety,” Rice said.
A circuit court arraignment has been set for August 10, at 10 a.m.
