Prosecutors Want Higher Bail in Montana Shooting
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Prosecutors are seeking to double bail to $100,000 for a man being held in the weekend shooting of a hitchhiker outside of Glasgow.
Lloyd Danielson III is due in Valley County Justice Court Wednesday on charges of felony assault with a weapon.
The Washington state resident is accused of shooting 39-year-old Ray Dolin in the arm as the hitchhiker waited along U.S. Highway 2 on Saturday near Glasgow.
Roosevelt County Attorney Nicholas Murnion said a higher bail is warranted because of the violent nature of the offense and because Danielson is from out of state.
Dolin, a freelance photographer, was hitchhiking through Montana on his way to Washington state. Authorities say he was shot as he approached Danielson's pickup thinking Danielson was going to give him a ride.
Dolin later told authorities that he was hitchhiking to collect material for a memoir on kindness in America.
Dolin was expected to fully recover.
