The former Crofton fire chief convicted of arson last month will be released on bond after a hearing in Christian Circuit Court Friday morning. Jeremy Marlar’s attorney, Rick Boling informed Judge John Atkins the $25,000 bond had been paid by Marlar’s wife. Boling also wanted to squash all rumors that he had contributed money to Marlar’s wife for her husband’s bond. Judge Atkins then granted the motion to release Marlar on bond with certain conditions. Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Maggie Gigandet interjected and stated she and the victims are requesting that Marlar not get an ankle monitor because they don’t want him to get credit for time served that will go toward his 10-year sentence that was recommended by the jury. However, Marlar spoke up and said he wants the ankle monitor.
