Trafficking charges dropped against Eddyville men

District Judge Daniel Heady has found probable cause to send the cases of four individuals – each facing various charges of robbery and assault from an incident at Marion-Crittenden County Park on Feb. 9 – to the Crittenden County Grand Jury.

The judge dismissed charges of trafficking in marijuana by complicity against each of the four Eddyville men cited in the incident because no pot was found by police.

Charged are Aaron Cannon, 18; David R. Catallo, 33; Anthony G. Williams, 19; and Chase A. Bull, 18.

A 17-year-old juvenile is also charged in the alleged crime, but his case is being heard in juvenile court, which is not open to the public.

Based on the court's findings during a preliminary hearing today, charges that will be considered by the grand jury during its April session are as follows:

•Cannon, 18, of Eddyville, first-degree robbery by complicity, first-degree assault by complicity and first-degree fleeing or evading police. He is out of jail on $10,000 cash bond.

•Catallo, 33, of Eddyville, first-degree robbery and first-degree assault. He remains jailed on a $25,000 cash bond.

•Williams, 19, of Eddyville, first-degree robbery by complicity. He remains jailed on a $10,000 cash bond.

•Bull, 18, of Eddyville, first-degree robbery and first-degree assault. He remains jailed on a $25,000 cash bond.
