Detailed explanation provided for Newman's late court appearance

The always reliable Crime Scene Blog has a complete account of former Kanakuk Kamp director Pete Newman's failure to show up on time for his court hearing this morning:

Newman's attorney Tom Carver attempted to explain to Judge Williams that it was his fault that his client was late....but at that point it was already too late as Williams had signed a warrant for Newman's arrest.
Newman who had been free on $50,000 bond is now being held in the Taney County jail on an additional $10,000 CASH ONLY BOND......and a $90,000 signature bond.

Newman is charged with four felony crimes involving sex with underage boys.
