A Michigan judge on Monday set a $100,000 bond for a man accused of randomly stabbing 11 people at a Walmart in Traverse City over the weekend.
Bradford James Gille, the man accused of stabbing 11 people in a Traverse City Walmart on Saturday, appeared via video for his arraignment at the 86th District Court on Monday.
Judge Tammi Rodgers set his bond at $100,000, citing the severity of the charges and public safety concerns. Gille was assigned a court-appointed attorney during the hearing.
Gille told the court that he does not have a mailing address, vehicle, or money in a bank account, raising questions about his stability and risk factors.
The alleged attack took place on Saturday, when Gille reportedly entered the Walmart armed with a folding knife and began stabbing victims at random, according to Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea.
At the arraignment, Prosecuting Attorney Noelle Moeggenberg argued that a high bond was necessary to ensure public safety.
“The only way to protect the public is by setting a high bond,” Moeggenberg said.
Authorities have not yet released details on the conditions of the injured victims or possible charges beyond assault.
The investigation is ongoing, and police have yet to confirm a motive.
