Dont'e Davis was in court this week for a bond hearing after receiving aggravated robbery charges, evading arrest and being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun. Earlier this month, Davis approached the victim demanding money with a handgun tucked under his shirt. After taking $500 from the victim, he fled away on a bicycle. Days later, Davis was located with the weapon. In court, the judge allowed Davis' bond of $100,000 to remain the same. Davis is currently in custody.

Nathan Bowdrey was in court this week on a preliminary hearing after breaking into a business and stealing multiple adult toys for resale. Two days later, Bowdrey was found with the stolen items in the trunk of a stolen car. During the search of the stolen vehicle, officers located the sex toys. The store's manager was able to provide testimony regarding the products (pictured) and their value. The court found probable cause, allowing the case to proceed. Bowdrey will remain in custody.
