Bond set at $5 million for Cameo.
Bond was set at $5 million for the second suspect in the double murder of a young couple in Springfield Township.
During a video arraignment Tuesday afternoon in Sylvania Municipal Court, Cameo Pettaway, 22, was arraigned on two counts of murder and one count of aggravated burglary in the deaths of Lisa Straub and Johnny Clarke. Their bodies, bound with duct tape and with plastic bags over their heads, were found Jan. 31 in the home of Miss Straub’s parents in Springfield Township.
Judge M. Scott Ramey set a bond of $2 million on each of the murder counts and $1 million on the burglary count.
Pettaway told the judge he could not afford an attorney and wanted one appointed for him. The judge continued Tuesday’s court appearance until Wednesday at 10 a.m. so a court-appointed attorney could be named.
Clarke’s mother and grandparents were in the courtroom and sobbed during the proceedings but declined to comment afterwards.
Pettaway is the second man charged in the double murder. Samuel Williams, 24, of 1626 Kelsey Ave., was charged on Sept. 22 with two counts of aggravated murder and murder. He pleaded not guilty to those charged as well as one count each of kidnapping and aggravated burglary. His trial is set for Jan. 18 in Lucas County Common Pleas Court. He faces the death penalty if convicted.
