IN THE IOWA DISTRICT COURT IN AND FOR SAC COUNTY STATE OF IOWA, Plaintiff, v. JONATHON LEVI WILLROTH, Defendant. STATES RESISTANCE TO DEFENDANTS MOTION TO DISMISS AND MOTION TO INCREASE BOND Case No. FECR012513

COMES NOW the State of Iowa and for its resistance to defendants motion to reduce bond respectfully states the following: 1. In determining which conditions of release will reasonably assure defendants appearance and the safety of another person or persons, the Court is to consider, among other things, the nature and circumstances of the offense charged, the defendant's family ties, employment, character, the length of the defendant's residence in the community, the defendant's record of convictions, including the defendant's failure to pay any fine, surcharge, or court costs, and the defendant's record of appearance at court proceedings or of flight to avoid prosecution. IOWA CODE 811.2 (2013) 2. First, defendants ties to the area are weak; the defendant was living with the victim at the time of the crime because he had no place to live and was unemployed. 3. The nature and circumstances of the offenses charged and the underlying factual basis for the same demonstrate defendant poses a SERIOUS danger to the victims, witnesses, and himself. The defendant is charged with, among other things, threatening to kill his ex-wife and his children with a firearm, as well as sexually assaulting / abusing his ex-wife. Also, the defendant admitted to law enforcement that he had threatened to take his own life. (See Attachment A to the Minutes of Testimony, which are incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth herein). 4. Additionally, defendant is an admitted methamphetamine abuser and also admitted to law enforcement that he becomes more sexually aggressive when he is using methamphetamine. 5. Lastly, if anything, the Court should increase defendants bond as the Trial Information charged defendant with two additional Class C Felony charges, which were not filed when defendants bond was initially set.

E-FILED 2014 MAR 24 1:43 PM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

WHEREFORE, for the above-stated reasons, the State moves that defendants motion to reduce bond be denied in its entirety and for other relief as the Court deems just and equitable in the premises, including increasing defendants bond and / or making it cash only.
