Lewis County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Keadle raised a Weston man's bond to $50,000 during his arraignment Friday after learning he is facing a multitude of charges unrelated to those the grand jury indicted him on earlier this week.
Eric J. Metz, 39, remains lodged in the Central Regional Jail as he awaits a Feb. 11 trial on charges that include armed robbery, malicious wounding, conspiracy, burglary and petit larceny.
Metz has also been charged with conspiracy to commit attempted murder, in which it is alleged he tried to convince someone to kill the victim in the armed robbery case he is facing. That case has not been presented to the grand jury.
Keadle set Metz' trial to coincide with an earlier one already scheduled for him in February. Jury selection for his trial will be at 9 a.m. Feb. 9.
