Man accused of gunning down ex-girlfriend undergoes mental examination
By KPIC NewsSOUTH BEND, Wash. - The man who owned one of the largest fishing boat companies in the region, and is accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend in broad daylight, has completed his mental evaluation leading up to trial.
The 47-year-old Roseburg man is accused of killing his former girlfriend Lisa Bonney, a mother of two. Bonney was shot Sept. 11 in Long Beach, Wash. Police in Long Beach said they were patrolling the beach during a festival with dozens of people around, when they saw Brush fire shots from a shotgun into the tall grass. Long Beach police arrested Brush after they said they approached and he held up his hands. There, they found Bonney laying dead in the grass - shot in the back. Brush is well known to law enforcement. Since March, the Federal Bureau of Investigations has been investigating him for wire-transfer fraud involving his Roseburg business, North River Boats in the Green District. Now the fraud charge is secondary to first degree murder - as Bonney's family calls for justice. Brush is being held on $50 million bail. A competency hearing has been set for Jan. 12 in Pacific County Court in South Bend, Wash. |
