Largo Puppeteer Waives Bail Hearing

The man accused last month of conspiring to kidnap a child waived a bail hearing Wednesday, according to The Tampa Bay Times.

Ronald William Brown, 57, will stay in jail without bail as he waits trial on federal charges of conspiring to kidnap a child and possessing child pornography, The Tampa Bay Times reports.

Brown provided puppet and marionette shows to local children around the Tampa Bay area for many years through his Puppets Plus business.

He was arrested on July 20 as a part of a federal investigation. Brown allegedly chatted online last year with someone about kidnapping and eating children, giving details on how he would abduct and cook them, WTSP 10 News reports.

Brown maintains his in the charges. No trial date has been set yet for Brown, the Times reports.

As usual government lied to us. They said if we switch over to reclaimed we will have water forRead More lawns whenever we wanted!!!!! NOT!!! Plus they didin't tell us that we would probably have to replace all valves in sprinkler system shortly after because this water isn't as clean and destroys them. You then have to put in different ones to accommodate the grit etc in the water. Same with the heads those little screens get clogged a lot more and need service more. So much for SAViNG $$$$$$ NOT
