Man pleads not guilty to charges for bicyclist's death on Alexis Road; bond hearing set
A Lucas County judge has scheduled a bond hearing for Monday for a man charged with the July 30 death of a bicyclist he allegedly struck on Alexis Road and then fled the scene. Prosecutors moved last week to increase the bond for Kenneth Pegler, 55, of the 900 block of Mildred Avenue in Temperance, from $100,000 to $500,000 on the grounds he is a flight risk based on statements he made in jailhouse phone calls and tips Toledo police received on their Crime Stoppers hot line stating he planned to flee to Canada. After entering not guilty pleas on his client’s behalf Thursday afternoon in Lucas County Common Pleas Court, defense lawyer Jerome Phillips told Judge Dean Mandros that facts in the prosecutors’ motion were either unsubstantiated or, regarding a statement about Pegler owning property in Canada, false. Judge Mandros scheduled the bond hearing for 11 a.m. Monday and in the interim continued a $750,000 bond he had set Friday in Pegler’s absence following his indictment Thursday by a Lucas County grand jury.
