Detwiler molests second child while out on bond

Print

William Detwiler of Vanderwagen has struck again. This time while out on bond and awaiting trial for criminal sexual contact with a child and false imprisonment.

This time he was nabbed for alleged enticement of a child, aggravated stalking of a victim under 16 years of age, false imprisonment, battery, and assault Aug. 10.

The previous alleged assault occurred April 21.

In April, Detwiler assaulted a local teen who hopped in his car for a ride. He talked the teen into removing his pants and reportedly fondled the young man. Detwiler posted bond and was released April 22, the following day of his arrest.

There’s reportedly good evidence in this case as the teen took out his camera phone and recorded what he could of the incident.

As of Sept. 9,  he had a preliminary hearing in Magistrate Court and is being held at the McKinley County Adult Detention Center on a $5,000 cash/surety bond. As of Sept. 10, he was still in custody, according to a jail official.

District Court Judge Lyndy D. Bennett will hold a status conference on Oct. 9 at 1:30 pm in Gallup District Court. Detwiler’s jury trial trial has been set for Nov. 3.
