What can we or I do to help this man? This complete story can be read in the March 11, Cincinnati Enquirer. Online at Cincinnati.com/Enquirer. I am going to at least contact his attorney and help pay some of his expenses. ---------------- Sunday, May 11, 2003 Activist's bond set in bar shooting By Susan Vela The Cincinnati Enquirer The neighborhood watch activist who critically injured an armed robber inside a Northside bar returned to jail Saturday after an appearance in Hamilton County Municipal Court. Judge Karla Grady set Harold McKinney's bond at $25,000 even though his attorney, Mark Naegel, vouched that his client should be released because of his outstanding character. McKinney, 54, of Northside, served in the Army and attended the University of Cincinnati and Western Hills High School, Naegel said. McKinney, a member of Cincinnati's Citizens on Patrol Program (COPP), remained in the Hamilton County jail on Saturday, facing charges of felonious assault and carrying a weapon in a tavern. But, "these were armed robbers who entered this tavern," said Naegel. "They were threatening all the people inside there. Harold was one of the people threatened." According to Cincinnati Police, McKinney was carrying a semiautomatic pistol at Junker's Tavern on Langland Avenue after 11 p.m. Thursday. When two masked men entered waving handguns, he shot one in the head, police said. |
