Armed robbery suspects plead not guilty

Four of the five individuals charged in last week's alleged armed robbery at Marion-Crittenden County Park were arraigned Wednesday in Crittenden District Court. The fifth suspect is a 17-year-old male juvenile who will have a separate arraignment in juvenile court. He was released to his parents on Wednesday, Feb. 9, the day of his detainment following the incident at the park.

The following charges were read by District Judge Daniel Heady on Wednesday:

•Aaron Cannon, 18, of Eddyville is charged with first-degree robbery by complicity, first-degree assault by complicity, trafficking in marijuana by complicity; and first-degree fleeing or evading police. Bond: $10,000 cash.

•David R. Catallo, 33, of Grand Rapids, Mich., charged with trafficking in marijuana by complicity; first-degree robbery and first-degree assault. Bond: $25,000 cash.

•Anthony G. Williams, 19, of Eddyville is charged with trafficking in marijuana by complicity; and first-degree robbery by complicity. Bond: $10,000 cash.

•Chase A. Bull, 18, of Eddyville is charged with trafficking in marijuana by complicity; first-degree robbery and first-degree assault. Bond: $25,000 cash.

Each was represented by their attorneys. Williams was appointed a public defender, but the other three were in court with their private attorneys. Billy McGee of Smithland is representing Catallo, Will Kautz of Paducah is represesnting Cannon and Jeremy Ian Smith of Paducah is representing Bull.

There was no bond reduction for either of the suspects. They all remain jailed in Crittenden County.
