Bond stipulations were changed for the arrestee of an Oct. 24 off-campus shooting during Monday’s initial appearance.

Marc D. Griffin, 21, Chicago, a member of the United States military, requested during his hearing to be permitted travel to Wisconsin, where he serves with military reserves.

He said under oath that he was terminated from employment at Intercom Security in the Chicago area and would need to travel to receive a monthly income of $300.

Coles County Circuit Court Judge Mitch Shick granted Griffin’s request “for modification of bond to go to reserves in Wisconsin.”

Assistant State’s Attorney Duane Deters requested Griffin have an attorney by Dec. 1, when the preliminary hearing for he and co-defendant Crystal P. Lovemore, 19, sophomore undeclared major, is scheduled.

In order for Griffin to have an attorney by that date, he said he would need to continue interaction with the reserves.

Shick therefore granted that request, and Griffin completed the required paperwork.

Deters denied Griffin a public defender during his Nov. 3 appearance on the grounds the defendant was able to offer $3,000 cash bond.

Griffin and Lovemore were arrested Oct. 24 after reports of shots fired into a residence at 1514 12th St.

Eastern students and alumni were present in the home when the shots were fired, leading to arrestee charges of aggravated discharge of a firearm.

Those in the home were taken to the arrest scene, near Domino’s Pizza at Lincoln Avenue and Seventh Street, where they identified Griffin and Lovemore as the subjects seen near the home prior to the shooting.

The co-defendants may have been involved in reports of shots fired on campus near Lantz Arena after an altercation among the 12th Street occupants, Griffin and Lovemore during the First Annual Johnetta Jones Memorial Homecoming Step Show.

Amral L. Johnson, a junior sociology major and member of Eastern’s football team, said in police information found in court dockets that Lovemore threatened him just two nights before, saying, “I can have you killed.”

Lovemore and Griffin are scheduled to next appear in court Dec. 1 at 1 p.m.
