A Peck man has been bound over to 2nd District Court to face a charge of second degree murder in connection with the Sept. 26th death of an Orofino man.
Chase Chandler
Despite expressing deep reservations, Magistrate Jeff Payne agreed that 24-year-old Chase Chandler will stand trial for the death of 24-year-old Wayne Hodges.
Chandler has been in custody on a $500,000 bond since his arrest Sept. 28th.
According to a criminal complaint, Chandler is accused of striking Hodges in the head with a blunt instrument or club, sufficient enough to cause cranial fractures and death. Hodges’ body was discovered a short distance away from a camper that had burned at an undeveloped campground near Lolo Creek in Idaho County.
Chandler will appear in District Court on Nov. 8th to enter a plea and have a jury trial scheduled. (Lewiston Tribune)
