POINT PLEASANT —Those indicted by the May Grand Jury appeared in Mason County Circuit Court this week to answer their indictments and to receive arraignment dates.

A husband and wife accused of kidnapping a man whom court papers say the husband later physically assaulted because he suspected the man of burglarizing their home, appeared to receive their indictments on Thursday. William (39) and Elizabeth (40) McDermitt both of Point Pleasant also had a special hearing Thursday to address the issue of bond. The couple has been in the Western Regional Jail since their arrest last month when bond was denied in Mason County Magistrate Court due to the nature of the charges which had no bond amount. However, after the hearing in circuit court, it was decided William’s bond be set at $250,000 with a special condition of home confinement. William must also sign a wavier of extradition so he may work out of state and he is to have no contact with the victim either directly or indirectly. Attorney Craig Tatterson was also appointed as William’s co-counsel. Elizabeth’s bond was set at $75,000 with a condition of home confinement in Cabell County where she will be staying with a relative. Elizabeth is to have no contact with the victim either indirectly or directly.

If the McDermitts can meet these bond conditions, they can be released. As of Friday afternoon the couple was still housed in the Western Regional Jail. The McDermitts are to appear before Judge Thomas Evans on May 30 for their arraignments.
