RUSSELLVILLE – A Logan County judge denied a bond reduction for the woman charged with manslaughter in connection to the deaths of two prominent Bowling Green businessmen.

Mickey Mosher, 54, of Warsaw, Ind., remains in Logan County Detention Center on a $250,000 cash bond. She is charged with two counts of second-degree manslaughter, first-degree assault, driving under the influence, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Police say she was driving the truck that crossed the centerline on U.S. 79 and crashed into a group of four motorcycles, killing riders Cornelius Martin, 57, and Brooks Mitchell, 51, and injuring another, Bill Leachman, 61.

Mosher’s husband, Tim, also told District Judge Sue Carol Browning that media coverage has made it difficult to find an attorney. Mickey Mosher was interviewed on camera in jail earlier this week.

&#8220We’ve been quoted at least $150,000 to try this case and as much as $500,000,” Tim Mosher said. &#8220I can’t come up with anywhere near that.”

Browning delayed a hearing to determine probable cause for criminal charges until June 22.

&#8220I want to give you every opportunity to find representation,” she said.

&#8220But I can’t let you come up here and sit up here and represent her anymore,” Browning said to Tim Mosher.

Mickey Mosher waived her right to a preliminary within 10 days of arrest for the hearing to be delayed. She does not qualify for a public defender because she owns property and has a full-time job, the judge said.

Tim Mosher said there are eight to 10 people at home who depend on her work. She operates Crash Busters Pilot, which pilots large vehicles or equipment on highways.

Browning said she denied the request for a reduced bail because of at least one prior conviction for drug charges, the fact that Mickey Mosher lives out of state and the serious nature of the charges.

&#8220I simply can’t reduce your bond,” Browning said.

If Mickey Mosher cannot find representation prior to the next hearing, the case will continue without her being represented, Browning said.

After the hearing, Mickey Mosher quickly left the courtroom in tears, a sheet of white paper covering her face.

Tim Mosher said &#8220no” when asked for comment on his way out of the Logan County Courthouse.

The delay in the case won’t affect any potential circuit court trial, said Charles Orange, commonwealth’s attorney for Logan County.

&#8220The sheriff’s department will continue to investigate the case,” he said.

If probable cause is found in the preliminary hearing, the case will be presented to a grand jury, Orange said.

Once the investigation is complete, Orange said he would look at the information and determine if more serious charges such as murder or vehicular homicide would be sought.

Each of the four motorcycle riders – one, Lloyd Ferguson of Bowling Green, was uninjured – was wearing a helmet. The Logan County Sheriff’s Department is still conducting its investigation of the crash, Sheriff Wallace Whittaker said.

The exact amount of marijuana found inside Mickey Mosher’s vehicle has not been released, he said. The department is hopeful the results of toxicology tests will be available within a couple of weeks.

There was no evidence of alcohol in the vehicle, but Mickey Mosher is believed to have been under the influence of marijuana when her vehicle crossed the center line and struck the three motorcycles head on, Whittaker said.

The arrest citation said that Mosher told officers she was reaching for something and took her eyes off the road prior to the collision.

The citation also states that Mickey Mosher admitted she was under the influence of marijuana and had smoked marijuana within the last 13 hours.
