Boone had a presentment through the Justice of the Peace Court 2 in reference to all the warrants and capiases. She was committed to the Department of Correction on $561.00 cash bail only. She received 3650.00 in unsecured bail reference to some of the new charges and capiases. She was ordered to appear in various courts at a later date.
It was learned that Pettyjohn had an outstanding warrant for his arrest out of New York City, NY. Officers prepared an out of state fugitive warrant for Pettyjohn.
