The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest of two most wanted fugitives over the weekend.
Sheriff Steve Cox says 51-year-old John James Meyer of Hale was arrested on a warrant for alleged probation violation on original felony possession of a controlled substance: methamphetamine.
Online court information indicates Meyer appeared in Division One of Livingston
County Circuit Court on Monday. The court denied a request for bond change, and a bond hearing was set for September 10, 2019. Meyer’s bond was originally set at $50,000 cash only.
Cox reports 29-year-old Richard James Stumph of Bogard was arrested when he surrendered on a warrant for alleged sodomy or attempted sodomy—first degree-victim less than 12 years of age.
Online information shows Stumph entered a plea of not guilty in the Associate Division of Livingston County Circuit Court on Monday and he was referred to a public defender for representation. The court denied a request for a bond change, and a bond hearing was set for August 27, 2019.
Stumph is being held without bond.
