DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - The suspect in the fatal shooting of a woman inside a crowded Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in Davenport will remain jailed after a judge on Tuesday rejected her request for an alterted bond.
Treshonda M. Pollion, 24, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Elosie Chairs, 29, a mother of five, in late October.
She is being held on $1 million cash-only bond. During a telephone conference on Tuesday, Pollion and her attorney sought to have the bond altered to a cash surety bond, which would allow a company to pay her bail. They cited her lack of previous criminal history, The Quad-City Times reported.
Assistant Scott County Attorney Robert Bradfield argued against the change, noting the the shooting occurred inside a restaurant that was full of families and children.
Pollion told the judge she needed a “realistic” bond in order to prepare her young son to be somewhere safe while she goes through court proceedings.
Judge Patrick McElyea denied the request, noting the serious nature of the crime and the circumstances.
Pollion is scheduled to be arraigned Dec. 3.
