Grant, other suspects post bond

The New Orleans Saints' Charles Grant attracted area media last Thursday when he returned to Blakely to surrender to authorities. Grant and six others were indicted with involuntary manslaughter by the Early County grand jury last week in the Feb. 3 North Church Street melee and shooting which left a pregnant Blakely woman dead.

Grant entered a plea of not guilty and waived his right to arraignment and was released on $10,000 bond along with the six others indicted with involuntary manslaughter - Laquient Macklin, Marshae Stromer, Anthony Williams, Jarvis Tinson, Rodreaco Gray and Woodrow Gray.

"Parties on both sides of the fence have been indicted. It's an unusual indictment, I've not seen one quite like it," said Grant's attorney Edward Tolley, who declared Grant was not guilty.

Macklin, a childhood friend of Grant's was charged with murder, feticide and aggravated assault in addition to involuntary manslaughter.

Grant's attorney stated that Macklin was not Grant's bodyguard as was widely reported.

During the incident 23- year-old Korynda "Possum" Reed of Blakely, reportedly five months pregnamt, suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at a Dothan hospital.
