PANAMA CITY — The bond for an Arkansas man charged with the vehicular homicide of a Panama City Beach woman was reduced Thursday.
Adam Brian Bailey, 23, was being held on a $30,000 bond after a Sept. 7 crash at Upas Street and Beach Drive that caused the death of 31-year-old Tara Marie Ashley. Bailey said he was on his way to meet a girl when he t-boned the convertible containing Ashley at about 4 p.m., and that he was exceeding the posted speed limit, according to Florida Highway Patrol reports.
Though prosecutors argued Bailey has no ties to Bay County, District Judge Brantley Clark reduced his bond to $15,000 during the hearing Thursday. Clark also ordered that Bailey be subjected to random urinalysis tests and not allowed to consume alcohol.
