Bond has been set for all 12 suspects facing charges in connection with the shooting death of Claiborne County deputy Terrian Bailey.

Claiborne County Sheriff Edward Goods announced that the preliminary hearings for the suspects were waived and that they had a bond hearing on Thursday. Each suspect was given a bond of $175,000 with other stipulations attached.

All must wear an ankle monitor. They are subject to a curfew that prohibits them from being out of their homes between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., with exceptions for work and school. All will be under strict house arrest, unless they are employed. Those not currently living in Claiborne County are banned from the county unless they have a court appearance.

The 12 suspects, all of whom are charged with first-degree murder, aggravated assault, and conspiracy to commit murder, include:

  • 26-year-old Adolphous Butler
  • 19-year-old Demond Hunt
  • 21-year-old Emanuel Jackson
