Jamarrius Willingham is finding bail more difficult to come by than in two previous felony arrests this year.
Of course this time the price has gone up.
Willingham, 29, is accused of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree.
He allegedly committed the shootings on the afternoon of July 18 in an altercation on Warshauer Street not far from his residence.
Arrested shortly afterward, he remained in lockup Tuesday evening, bail set at $1.5 million.
Bonds posted in his previous cases pale in comparison.
On June 26 he posted $4,000 for arrest the previous day for alleged domestic abuse battery and felony DAB with child present.
Ten days earlier he was booked for alleged DAB/aggravated assault/chid endangerment, DAB strangulation, criminal damage intent to defraud, theft and three contempt counts, posting $43,000 bond the next day.
Parish records indicate he posted $1,600 bond about two hours after a May 2023 arrest on misdemeanor drug and traffic charges.
In November 2021 his bail, paid the next day, was $20,600 on possession with intent, felony flight, illegal carrying of a weapon and misdemeanor traffic charges.
