NEW PHILADELPHIA Bail has been set at $1 million for a man accused of shooting at multiple law enforcement officers Tuesday at his home near Bolivar.
If he were able to post bond, Donald E. Whiting, Jr., would be required to remain on electronically monitored house arrest under terms set Monday by Carroll County Municipal Judge Gary L. Willen.
The judge ordered Whiting to have no contact with the neighbor whose complaint about a concerning letter from the suspect preceded Tuesday s incident. He appointed the Tuscarawas County Public Defender s Office to represent Whiting.
Willen is handling the case because New Philadelphia Municipal Judge Nanette DeGarmo VonAllman has a conflict.

BOLIVAR A suspect was wounded Tuesday following a standoff and police chase in the Bolivar area.
Sheriff Orvis Campbell said his office was asked at 10:20 a.m. to investigate a suspicious letter that was left in a mailbox.
A deputy responded to a home in the 1300 block of Russell Drive NW, Lawrence Township, to question a suspect. The deputy did not get an answer at the door. As the deputy walked back to his car, he heard a gunshot and saw where a bullet round had hit the ground in front of the house, Campbell said.
The deputy got into his car and retreated to a position of safety and called for back-up. Other deputies arrived, as well as Bolivar and Strasburg police. At that time, a person from the house came out, raised a long gun and fired at deputies.
