A Bell County judge on Wednesday reduced the bond for a Killeen man accused of taking a vehicle with two children inside last year. Prior to the remote hearing in the 27th Judicial District Court, Christopher Thomas Jr., 26, had bonds totaling $175,000, on charges of kidnapping, a third-degree felony, and unauthorized use of a vehicle, a state jail felony. After hearing testimony and arguments from the attorneys, Judge John Gauntt reduced Thomas Jr.âs bonds to $25,000 on the kidnapping charge, and $10,000 on the unauthorized use of a vehicle charge. Thomas was still listed in the Bell County Jail on Friday. He was booked into jail on Dec. 10, and he has not been indicted on either charge.
