A former bail bondsman, convicted by a jury in February of criminal confinement, has now been arrested on charges that he hired people to beat a witness and a deputy prosecutor.
According to a press release from the Elkhart County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, investigators completed an investigation Monday and arrested Bart Dewald, 49, Goshen.
Dewald was booked into the Elkhart County Jail on suspicion of conspiracy to commit aggravated battery. Officials say he was arrested in the parking lot of a retail business in the 3400 block of South Main Street in Elkhart at approximately 3 p.m.
Prosecutor’s investigators allegedly learned that Dewald contracted to hire people to commit battery on two individuals.
One of the individuals targeted reportedly is a witness in a pending criminal case involving Dewald, while the second person targeted is a deputy prosecutor with the Elkhart County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, the prosecutor’s release said.
It is alleged that Dewald paid cash in a deal that called for the targeted individuals to be severely beaten to the extent that hospitalization would be required.
Dewald was on bond at the time of this alleged offense and is scheduled to be sentenced on March 20 as a result of his Feb. 21 conviction by an Elkhart County Superior Court 3 jury on two counts of criminal confinement, both Class D felonies.
Dewald also is facing criminal charges alleging criminal confinement, intimidation, pointing a loaded firearm and criminal recklessness with a vehicle stemming from an October of 2007 incident. Those charges are also pending in Elkhart County Superior Court 3.
At a probable cause hearing held Wednesday, Dewald’s bond was set at $3 million. Formal charges of two counts of conspiracy to commit aggravated battery, both Class B felonies, are expected to be filed today. Class B felonies carry a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
