A Gower man accused of attacking a man with a baseball bat will be granted bail as his assault case moves through court, subject to some restrictions agreed on by the lawyers involved.

We reported May 31 that Chad Allison was arrested over the holiday weekend and charged with second-degree assault, a class-d felony.  Investigators said in a court affidavit that Allison entered the man’s home in the 8000 block of South US 169 on the night of May 29 and attacked him with a baseball bat.  In court documents, officials said the victim suffered serious injuries to his back and left arm.

The prosecutor and defense lawyer agreed on some specific bond restrictions. Associate Circuit Judge Keith Marquart ordered Allison to have no contact with the victim, and not to go to the address of the alleged assault. He also ordered Allison not to go to two local businesses.

Judge Marquart set bail at $25,000, for which Allison may deposit $2,500 with the court. The judge placed the case on the preliminary hearing docket June 16 at 11 a.m.
