Marc Anthony Laquinn Buchanan, 27, was arrested Wednesday after testing positive for marijuana use, according to court records. Buchanan was out on bond after being arrested in 2009. Buchanan's grandmother had posted the $50,000 property bond. Buchanan is awaiting trial on charges of attempted murder, first-degree assault, fleeing and evading police, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, possession of a controlled substance and tampering with physical evidence. These charges stem from an incident where Buchanan is accused of shooting and causing “serious physical injury” to Officer Nicholas Whitcomb during a footchase. The Commonwealth Attorney's Office wants Judge Ishmael to revoke his bond. This would most likely lead to the loss of Buchanan's grandmother's home. Judge Ishmael has refused to do this and, I believe, rightly so. Mr. Buchanan stands accused but is presumed innocent until proven guilty. I don't know all of the details of the case, however, bonds are set to make sure the accused show up for their court date. I believe the bond was appropriate and efficient. The comments left after the article posted on Kentucky.com tend to disagree. http://www.kentucky.com/2010/09/23/1447397/lexington-man-charged-in-officers.htm… The issue at hand is the positive test for marijuana. Should a grandmother's home be taken because Buchanan tested positive for marijuana while awaiting pre-trial? More information at the link above: added by: Monkey_Films
