A Neosho couple charged with endangering the welfare of a child, a felony, after leaving their grandchild in a car in the Walmart parking lot with the windows up during a time when the temperature was 100 degrees are free after each posted a $2,500 surety bond.
Initially, Billy Joe Powers (DOB 1969) and Staci Deanne Williams (DOB 1974) were held without bond, but Judge Jacob Skouby reduced the bond to $2,500 cash or surety over the objection of the Newton County Prosecuting Attorney's office, according to Newton County Circuit Court online records.
Powers and Williams were arraigned August 19. Their next hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. Tuesday, September 9.

Why would any intelligent person leave a child or animal in a car to go into any store or shopping - this is just asinine - they should be punished for their actions - this was an attempt to kill this child - NO EXCUSES - CAN BE GIVEN!
Absolutely weak on crime judges are destroying our country
Another weak action by the Newton County system. They are either friends of the inner circle, or the PA and judges need replaced.
Pump your brakes PPPP, these are conservative rightwing judges you're criticizing. Your hypocrisy is witnessed by all of us again.
PA objected, reading comprehension is important.
They were given a lawful bond and they posted it. Happens everyday in our criminal justice system. Been happening for decades... no conspiracy here...
