Description

GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTY, Mich,. (WPBN/WGTU) — Bradford Gille, the man accused of stabbing 11 people at the Walmart in Garfield Township, could have his bond revoked.

Gille was arraigned Monday in the 86th District Court.

Magistrate Tammi Rodgers set Gille's bond at $100,000 cash surety.

The bond amount generated a lot of online debate and concern about whether there was a possibility someone would raise enough money to post Gille's bond.

Grand Traverse County Prosecuting Attorney Noelle Moeggenberg confirmed to UpNorthLive she planned to file a motion Tuesday to have Gille's bond increased with additional protections or revoked entirely.

Viewers of Gille's arraignment also pointed out he made a finger gun hand gesture to the jail camera as the magistrate was reading his bond conditions.

When asked about the hand gesture, Moeggenberg said over email, "Frankly, I would have filed a motion even if the defendant had not made that gesture."

Moeggenberg said because of the gesture, she's pushing for the bond to be revoked and not just increased.

She said in order to do that, her office filed the motion paperwork with the 86th District Court on Tuesday. Since Gille's case was assigned to Hon. Judge Michael Stepka, there will be a hearing on the bond set in his courtroom.

"He (Gille) is entitled to bond. That said, it could have been set higher," said Moeggenberg. "The motion to revoke is based on the gestures he made. If he hadn't done that, the motion would only have been to increase bond and additional protective conditions."

To compare, UpNorthLive looked into other criminal cases we've reported on where the defendant's bond was also set at $100,000 cash surety.

We found similar bonds were set in a case with a Wexford County woman who was accused of having drugs, a Kalkaska County man who was accused of sexually assaulting a minor, a Leelanau County man who was accused of assaulting his girlfriend and an Antrim County man who was accused of embezzling thousands from his parents' bank account.
