SPURGEON BAIL NOT REDUCED

Spurgeon bail not reduced

An Ottumwa man accused of stabbing a man to death is not having his bail reduced.  42-year-old Douglas Spurgeon is charged with first degree murder in the November 11 death of Gerald Sapp. Spurgeon’s attorney wanted the $1 million bond reduced.  The Wapello County Attorney countered that Spurgeon has a criminal record and a history of failing to appear in court.  Spurgeon is due in court Monday (1/3).
