LEWISTON, Maine — A judge has set bail at $10,000 cash or $5,000 cash with conditions for a 21-year-old woman accused of running over her ex-boyfriend’s leg, throwing Molotov cocktails at two cars parked in front of his apartment building and then leading police on a pair of high-speed chases.
Heather Kullson, of Lewiston, is charged with two counts of arson, two counts of eluding an officer and one count of aggravated assault. She made her initial appearance in 8th District Court in Lewiston Friday.
Assistant District Attorney Patricia Reynolds Regan asked Judge Rick Lawrence for $10,000 cash bail, calling Kullson “an extreme danger to the public and to herself.”
Kullson’s lawyer, James Howaniec, argued for lower bail, noting that his client has no money and strongly denies lighting or throwing any Molotov cocktails. He characterized Kullson as a good college student and young mother who has never been in trouble with the law and has never shown any mental health problems.
“She has no history of doing anything like this,” he said.
After Kullson’s father told the court that he could put up $5,000, the judge ordered $10,000 in case bail or $5,000 in cash with supervision by Maine Pretrial Services.
Kullson has been held at the Androscoggin County Jail on $25,000 cash bail since she was arrested Tuesday.
Maybe she has no history of this kind of behavior. But there is a first time for everything…
Good point.
And this out of control college student/young mother will not have
a chance for “history” to repeat itself if she is out of circulation.
Sort of looks like Jodi Foster with a bad dye job Run him over and then tried to burn up his stuff twice, egad. Hmm, seems like the over-possessive type. Maybe she come home and found him laying-up with a YooHoo bottler from Portland, and they already drank all her booze and smoked-up her weed, too. Good thing for him she wasn’t carrying the 45-70.
” Hell hath no fury like a women scorned “.
I see she’s changed her hair since her mug shot of 2 days ago….
She has been a very naughty little girl. I’ll bet Santa flies right by her place.
Let’s recap…has no money, yet she’s a mother and college student…
Her lawyer argues for a lower bail because she “strongly denies” lighting and throwing the firebombs…but doesn’t seem to deny running the guy over or fleeing police.
“She has no history of doing anything like this…” Well, she has no history of being caught doing anything like this (or does she, yet it’s in a sealed juvenile file?) And she sort of has a history of doing things like this…I mean, once she threw the first firebomb she had a history of doing it before she threw the second.
And lastly…She barely looks like a total absolute psycho in her pic…..
I say let her go…she’d never do it again…until next time…
Perhaps someone at the state level could take another look at Bar Tender course offerings around Maine.
Great start into adulthood. Make us all proud!
Ah, daddy’s little girl.
She looks a little angry.
So i’m confused? Did she make bail or not, her father said he would post the Five grand and the judge changed it ti ten grand? She in jail or not? Gee BDN, could you make any more confusing?
