Missouri’s Kansas City — On Thursday, a judge in Johnson County raised the bond for a man who is accused of committing assaults on children and contaminating food at the Hereford House restaurant in Leawood. The amount was upped to $500,000 by the judge.

In the course of a hearing that took place in the afternoon at the Johnson County Courthouse in Olathe, Jace Hanson, who is 21 years old, had his bond increased. During the course of the judicial proceedings, Hanson’s counsel made a request that his client be freed on his own recognizance or that his bond be significantly reduced.

In addition to this, Hanson consented to check himself into a mental health facility in Wyoming.

In connection with the charges of food adulteration, his bond was initially set at $100,000; however, Judge Thomas Kelly Ryan issued an order that boosted the bond by a factor of five.
