A second Ellis County man bonded out of the McLennan County jail after he was arrested three weeks ago in connection with the biker shootout on May 17 in Waco.
Midlothian resident Brian Logan bonded out on a $25,000 cash bond at 12:05 p.m. on Monday, said Cathy Edwards, indigent defense coordinator for McLennan County. Maypearl resident Don Fowler was bonded out on a $25,000 surety bond by 6:30 p.m. on May 3 according to the McLennan County jail inmate list. Both men had their bonds reduced from $1 million to $25,000 before they made bond.
Fowler and Logan are two of six Ellis County residents who were arrested after the shooting. On May 17, an altercation broke out between rival biker clubs at a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, according to arrest warrants from the Waco Police Department. Members of the biker clubs and Waco police officers exchanged gunfire. Nine people were killed in the incident and 18 others wounded, according to the reports.
Midlothian residents Robert Clinton Bucy, Jarrod D. Lehman, Christian A. Valencia and Red Oak resident Valdemar Guajardo Jr. were also arrested and charged with organized criminal activity, which is a first degree felony, and booked into the McLennan County Jail. The other four men were still in the McLennan County Jail according to the inmate list on Monday morning.
The district attorney's office said on June 3 because Fowler's case is an open, active criminal case and an ongoing investigation, the office cannot and will not comment or address any questions, so it remains unclear as to why Fowler's bond was reduced. The district attorney's office had not responded to questions about Logan's case by press time.
Fowler and Logan retained their own attorneys, Edwards said. Fowlers attorney said he did not wish to comment at this time.
Logan's attorney, Reed Prospere, said the next step in Logan's case is to wait and see if the district attorney's office decides to prosecute Logan's case.
I'm confident once they get time to get all their ducks in a row, and that may take months, that there will be no charges filed or charges will be dismissed, Prospere said.
He said the DA's office, like other DA's offices in small towns where a large event happens, is overwhelmed. He believes many people arrested at the event were caught in an unfortunate situation and will not be prosecuted.
Brian was there to talk motorcycling and have a day out on the deck talking motorcycle safety, Prospere said. It is unfortunate that people have to suffer as a result of that incident.
The process to get Logan's bond reduced was very professional, Prospere said.
I could not have been treated any nicer in regards to my request for bond reduction or when I was there this morning, he said Monday.
According to The Waco Tribune-Herald, some bikers who had their bonds lowered to $25,000 have had other conditions included in the bond agreements including that the men stay out of McLennan County except for court dates, wear ankle monitors, abide by curfews, and dont associate with biker groups.
Logan's bond reduction agreement did not include any conditions, Prospere said, and the DA's office never requested any special conditions. Normal conditions include promising to appear for court dates, not engaging in criminal activity and not contacting witnesses, he said.
As of press time, it was unclear what conditions, if any, came with Fowler's reduced bond.

As I said before, you said I posted something which I did not post.
You can claim whatever you want, but lying about someone qualifies as “yanking their chain” in my book.
“As I said before, you said I posted something which I did not post.”
Then you must have two handles on FR as I did not refer to WayneS.
Take a look. Tell yourself, it can’t happen with me & mine. We are not any ways close, to bikers bs. This was not about the people. It was about getting away with unconstitutional actions, in broad daylight. Setting precedent, is all that matters...to these bastards of humanity.
Okay. Fine. You told a lie about me in a post to someone else.
All that shows is that you lack the courage or decency to send a copy of your lie to the subject of said lie.
So you’re not only a liar, you’re a coward.
“All that shows is that you lack the courage or decency to send a copy of your lie to the subject of said lie.”
I didn’t lie. I posted what he posted to me ...
It was a simple moticon so I felt no need to ping him on it.
“It was about getting away with unconstitutional actions, in broad daylight.”
Texans don’t take kindly to murder on a Sunday afternoon in a family plaza in broad daylight.
You need to check the thread, because you were responding to a post addressed to me.
“You need to check the thread, because you were responding to a post addressed to me.”
Really. I posted it to someone else. Since the other dude had just posted the moticon, it is easily determined who the person was that I was referring to.
Yep. And there are still people who think that this thing that went down in Waco is about bikers. That’s like saying the bakery-homosexuals thing was about wedding cakes.
“The organization that sponsored this meeting does not require membership of any sort to attend.”
The Cossacks were not members and refused to pay the Bandidos.
“The Confederation Of Motorcycle Clubs is a lobbying and education organization, and most chapters are run by lawyers.”
LOL! Every chapter chair is a Bandido or Bandido duck member. I would venture a guess that NONE are lawyers.
And?
“IF YOUR CLUB, ETC., IS NOT LISTED, YOUR CLUB HAS NOT PAID IT’S ANNUAL DUES !!!”

This guy matches the description of the Bandido named Marshall in that story.
In your Wannabe hoodlum dreams.
Only trying to defend the truth, which you and your wannbe ganger friends are trying to change to suit your Al Sharpton-like agenda.
Motorcycle criminal gangs as with every other criminal gave up their Constitutional Rights by their criminal actions and threats to law abiding citizens.
I am quite shocked that FR has blindly seemed to tolerate these many biker gang apology threads and the vicious personal attacks good FReepers have had to endure trying to stand up for what is right and decent.
These gang defenders are no different from all the criminal rioters screaming HANDS UP DO’T SHOOT.
People who are convicted of felonies do lose some constitutional rights but everyone else has full rights. There are people that consider reading FR a hate crime. Should that cause us to lose our constitutional rights?
