County Magistrate Judge Allen Trapp set bond for use of a vehicle without the owner’s consent at $5,000 cash/surety, but denied bond for two murder, two kidnapping and one second-degree arson charges, deferring them to be considered by a circuit court judge. Knotts allegedly killed Steven and Nancy Hales sometime on Saturday and then allegedly attempted to cover up the murders by setting their Lyttleton Street home ablaze early Sunday morning. (Martin L.
