Bondsman's Case Separated From
LONOKE -- A bail bondsman in a Lonoke County corruption case will be tried separately from the other defendants.
Larry Norwood also won't be prosecuted on the count of engaging in a "continuing criminal organization" as originally charged, Prosecutor Lona McCastlain said Friday after Norwood's attorneys argued that the alleged violation didn't fit the definition of the crime.
Special Circuit Judge John Cole set a May 1 trial date for Norwood on a single felony drug charge -- conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine.
The trial date for former Lonoke Police Chief Jay Campbell, his wife Kelly, and bondsman Bobby Junior Cox remains Feb. 20.
Former Lonoke Mayor Thomas Privett and former Lonoke Police Department dispatcher Amy Staley also face charges in the investigation. Privett is to stand trial Jan. 17 on a misdemeanor theft charge. Staley faces counts of engaging in a continuing criminal organization and third-degree sexual assault. Her trial date is Jan. 18.
Friday, the judge said he would rule later on a request by Jay Campbell's lawyer, Patrick Benca, to suppress evidence found at the Campbells' home.
Benca argued that the affidavit requesting to search the home for certain items didn't include information that would give the court reason to believe the items would be in the home.
Chief Deputy Prosecutor Stuart Cearley said the court was allowed to assume the officer was seeking the warrant in good faith.
The prosecutor last summer filed dozens of charges, in various combinations, against the five defendants.
The charges against the former police chief include engaging in a criminal organization or enterprise, conspiring to make methamphetamine, hindering apprehension or prosecution, filing a false report with law enforcement, obtaining a controlled substance by fraud, theft of property, falsifying business records and theft of services.
His wife was charged with illegally obtaining drugs, money and personal property and having sex with prisoners. The bondsmen were accused of taking part in a conspiracy to make methamphetamine and using it to frame someone else who had jumped bail.
