PORT ANGELES — Clallam County Superior Court has received numerous letters of support for two 16-year-olds charged as adults in connection with a convenience store robbery last month.
Meanwhile, Superior Court Judge George L. Wood has reduced bail for Joseph J. Chartraw and Todd Martin Romero, both Port Angeles High School students who allegedly used a toy gun to rob Lincoln Park Grocery on Oct. 22.
Chartraw and Romero have both pleaded innocent to charges of first-degree robbery.
The boys were originally being held on $50,000 cash bail each, but Wood reduced Chartraw’s bail to $30,000 bondable and Romero’s bail to $10,000 bondable last week.
Chartraw’s conditions of release state he must reside with his parents in Neah Bay and attend school there, where Chartraw was previously a star of the Neah Bay High School basketball team. He transferred to Port Angeles High School this year.
