The judge added that given the seriousness of the crime, which could result in a life sentence, a reduced bond is denied. “The warrant was served on September 28, 2020 just before 8:00 in the morning,” Circuit Judge Meredith Charbula wrote. Police say the officer was injured by a bullet that came from a gun Ford shot through a window. Ford’s attorney shared the 911 audio with the judge in hopes of getting a lower bond.
