Bond Reduction In Howard County For Mena Man

Bond has been reduced on a Polk County man charged locally with Negligent Homicide and First Degree Battery.

22 year old Chance Manasco of Mena is awaiting trial on the charges and has a July 29th pre-trial date scheduled in Howard County Circuit Court.

Previous bond reduction requests have been denied but Wednesday Manasco’s bond was reduced from 50 thousand to 30 thousand dollars.

The charges stem from a February 2019 accident near Umpire that claimed one life and resulted in four other people being injured.
