A Fremont County judge has set bond at $25,000 cash for a teenager accused of burglary. Circuit Court Judge Wesley Roberts set the bond for 19-year-old Stephanie Janae Whitman at a court hearing earlier this month. Whitman faces three felony burglary charges. Roberts declined a request from defense lawyer Kate McKay to lower the bond to $5,000. McKay had pointed to her client's young age, lack of criminal history and ties to the community. Roberts said his decision to keep the bond higher was based on his concerns about community safety and his desire for people to feel safe in their homes.
