GoogleStark is being held at Saline County Justice Center on a $150,000 cash or surety bond.
Stark and two others at the home were taken into custody during the search; another person was taken into custody later at the jail.
Only Stark had been charged by Thursday morning, according to unofficial online court records.
A search warrant executed at Starks's home Tuesday resulted in the recovery of numerous items identified in earlier reports of two burglaries.
During the search, deputies allege they found methamphetamine and marijuana on Stark's person and in several locations in the house, according to an incident report filed by the sheriff's department.
Included in the items recovered are a trolling motor, several fishing rods and reels, fishing gear, a DVD player, a Remington rifle with scope, many antique items, a laptop computer, frozen beef, a tennis racket, a battery charger, an antique horse collar, high-pressure gas hoses, tools and collectible baseball cards.
Stark is scheduled to appear for a counsel status hearing before Judge James T. "Tut" Bellamy Wednesday, Nov. 18.
Charges contained in reports provided by law enforcement officials are not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting charges must be presented before a jury, whose duty is to determine if the accused is guilty or not guilty of the charges.

If a person and his/her friends, would spend as much time working as he/she/they spend pondering ways, which apparantly they are not good at, to steal and get dopped up, maybe, just maybe, they would become productive in society and not such a henderance. That's as professional as I think I can be, especially for this blog. Gracias for listening.
42 years old, ummmmm, we should no better.
P.S.
Thank you Vets....
litlmissme: The 8th Amendment to the Constitution suggests that bond can't be used in the punitive fashion you're suggesting. The idea of bond, in addition to assuring the appearance of the defendant in court, it also to allow a potentionally innocent person his/her freedom until the judicial process runs its course.
There is a possibility that not all charges have been filed either. If it looks as if one or all may make bond the judge depending on the evidence may decide to accept from the Prosecutor more charges, thus increasing the bond, forcing the men to stay in jail.
granny08: The bond for the Lafayette County case was set by Judge John Frerking.
The bond in the paramedic's family is all cash only. The bond for this guy is cash or surety which means 15 thousand will get him out. Plus this guy can go through a bondsman and make arrangements to pay him off in installments. It may sound like a higher bond but its really not.
The bond is set by a judge, sometimes on the recommendation of the prosecutor, sometimes without it. In Saline County, it's usually Judge Bellamy who sets these bonds.
In the case in Lafayette, it would be a different judge. I will try to find out which one.
Who sets the bonds?? I can't understand the bond in this case as opposed to some other cases. Three class c felonies~~~$150,000 bond or lets review a case out of Gilliam where two where arrested and held on $15,000 with six felonies............ can anyone explain?
Thanks
I am a little confused! Why is this man being held on a $150,000 cash or surety and The men accused of molesting and doing gruesome things to innocent children on $30,000 to $75,000? Don't get me wrong he deserves punishment but I really can't understand this! Can someone please tell me why??
