Teen in stabbing case back in jail

By COURTNEY SERVAES, Herald Staff Writer

An Ottawa teenager remains in Franklin County Jail today after violating his bond conditions.

Bradley Burke, 19, Ottawa, was arrested June 24 on a no-bond warrant after failing to comply with several of his bond conditions.

Burke, who will face a jury later this year after pleading not guilty to aggravated battery in May, was arrested for several alcohol-related crimes in the past few months.

A motion to revoke Burke’s bond while his case makes it through the court system has been filed. Burke will appear in court on these matters at 2 p.m. Monday.

During a January preliminary hearing, Judge Kevin Kimball ruled there was sufficient evidence to continue the case of Burke, who is accused of stabbing 23-year-old David Connelly last July.

Since being released on bond from that case, Burke was arrested in November and accused of being a pedestrian under the influence and a minor in possession. He was arrested again in April for similar charges: minor in possession of alcohol, driving under the influence and driving while suspended.

A judge will decide next week whether Burke should remain in jail until those cases are completed.
