One of the three robbery suspects from April’s Silver Lake gas station robbery and two suspects from last weekend’s Economy Inn arrests were in court Thursday for initial hearings.
Harrison H. Shepherd, 19, of 206 E. 2nd St., North Manchester, as well as Steven DeWayne Stanley, 42, of 3732 N. Prairie St., Warsaw, and Carrie Timmons, 35, of 615 Pam St., Warsaw, were arraigned in Kosciusko County Circuit Court Thursday morning.
Kosciusko County Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Steven Hearn read the charges out loud to Shepherd, Stanley and Timmons.
Shepherd was charged with robbery, a Class C felony. Stanley was charged with manufacturing methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a family housing complex, a Class A felony, and possession of precursors with intent to manufacture methamphetamine, a Class C felony. Timmons was charged with possession of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a housing complex, a Class C felony.
Chris Kehler, temporary Kosciusko County Circuit Court judge, entered pleas of not guilty for Shepherd, Stanley and Timmons. Additionally, Kehler granted their requests for a court-appointed attorney.
Shepherd is next due in court Sept 24 at 8:30 a.m. for a status conference and Nov. 5 at 8:30 a.m. for a pre-trial conference.
Stanley and Timmons were both ordered to be in court Oct. 15 at 1:30 p.m. for a status conference and Nov. 15 at 9:30 a.m.
Shepherd was arrested in May, along with Timothy Wayne Hackworth, 23, and Andrew Scott Asbury, 19, both of North Manchester, resulting from an early morning April 19 robbery of the McClure gas station in Silver Lake. Additionally, Harrison allegedly took part in auto thefts in North Manchester the previous night.
Stanley and Timmons were arrested over the weekend at the Economy Inn. Warsaw Police Department was called to the Economy Inn with information that there was a meth lab in one of the rooms. When officers found the room they found Stanley and Timmons with a meth lab and multiple prescription pills.
Shepherd is currently in the Kosciusko County Jail on $5,000 bond and Stanley and Timmons are currently being held on $50,000 bond at KCJ.
