Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant

And this was the very first conviction after this years long reign of terror on this town that he faced.

Of course, McFadden appealed.

The judge said, you're out on $40,000 bail.

And Baird said, oh, sounds fine to me.

Yeah.

So, like, after shooting Bo Boenkamp, getting caught by the highway patrol, he gets let out on a $40,000 bond, which he probably paid his bail in cash from his pocket.

And the town was like, you've got to be kidding me.

Like, you let this guy free?

Okay.

Yeah.

We will hang in there.

We're just going to ride this out.

And almost immediately, Ken McElroy was like, how can I get my bond revoked?

I know.

I'll go show up at the local tavern in Skidmore, the D&G Tavern, and I'll bring an M1 carbine rifle with bayonet on me, and I'll talk about how I'm going to use it to finish off Bo Bowenkamp in front of everybody in the bar.

And that's exactly what he did.

And there just happened to be a couple of brave souls.

One of them was Pete Ward.

I think it was he and his sons who went and confronted him about it and then went and filed a complaint and said, this guy needs his bond revoked.

And a bond hearing was set up 10 days from then.
