Man captured in Westlake on stolen bike last week.
Brian Adkinson who eluded a Missouri manhunt before traveling north to Westlake and Avon, had bond set for $500,000 in the Rocky River Municipal Court on Sept. 5.
His bond was set on the following charges: Two counts receiving Stolen Property (truck and license plate), one count felony fleeing, one count burglary (for taking the bike he was riding from a resident's open garage) and one count resisting arrest.
Adkison remains in the Westlake City jail, although he is likely to be transferred to the Cuyahoga County jail in the immediate future.
