FARMINGTON — Two suspects facing kidnapping charges stemming from an incident related to a drug deal in New Vineyard on Nov. 30 requested their bail to be reduced Friday.

Superior Court Justice Michaela Murphy ordered Shane Webber, 25, of New Vineyard, who was being held on $10,000 cash bail, to be held without bail. She agreed to reduce bail for Dahlon Campbell, 22, of Jay, from $10,000 to $5,000 cash and a pretrial service contract, if he is accepted into the supervised program, and if the state prosecutor agrees with the arrangement.

The two men and a third suspect, Campbell’s mother, Sandi McAlpine, 41, of Jay, are accused of holding a woman against her will at gunpoint for several hours at a New Vineyard Road, Farmington, residence before releasing her at another location on Nov. 30. McAlpine was released on $1,000 cash bail from Franklin County jail on Dec. 1.

Farmington police arrested all three on felony charges of kidnapping and criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon on Dec. 1.

Campbell and Webber were also each arrested on a charge of violation of conditional release related to separate matters.

According to a Farmington police affidavit, Webber and Campbell, armed with shotguns, held the victim against her will at 654 New Vineyard Road in Farmington. McAlpine was also present and party to the crimes, Bowering wrote.

The victim was held because “her male friend” had sold them $2,000 worth of fake drugs and they would release her only if the guy came back and gave them the $2,000, the affidavit stated.

Webber admitted Friday to violating bail of underlying conditions in unrelated charges. The state had filed a motion to revoke bail.

Assistant District Attorney James Andrews said given the fact that Webber was on bail in connection to a charge of illegally possessing oxycodone in July and has a charge of burglary pending in another case, along with a 2008 furnishing drug conviction, the court should hold him without bail or revoke bail.

William Maselli, Webber’s defense attorney, requested bail be reduced from $10,000 to $5,000, or $50,000 worth of real estate. He said Webber lived with his mother and was working full time at the time of the robbery. He described Webber’s involvement as peripheral. Maselli also said the state would have trouble proving its case and referred to the victim as being in the area to sell cocaine.

Maselli said it was not Webber’s problem, referring to the drug deal that sparked the incident, but he went to the house in support of friends, which he shouldn’t have done, and left before it was over.

He argued that using $50,000 of his family’s property as bail would be a strong inducement to Webber to toe the line.

Justice Murphy said the court is very concerned about the seriousness of the kidnapping charge and firearm allegation.

“He is alleged to have brought the guns,” Justice Murphy said

If Webber was not indicted on a Class A level, then he will be able to come back and argue for lower bail, she said.

Campbell’s attorney, Margot Joly, told the court her client was 22 years old and has no previous record.

Joly said Campbell could post $5,000 bail and is also willing to enter into a pretrial service contract, if necessary.

Andrews said that unlike Webber, Campbell has no previous record.

Campbell is the principal in the drug deal and principal in holding the kidnapping victim, Andrews said.

“Mr. Webber brought the guns,” Andrews said. “This was Mr. Campbell’s drug deal. These are very serious charges.”

He said he could not consider a pretrial contract at this time but may consider it at a later date.

Justice Murphy said she would set bail at $5,000 cash and a pretrial contract but only if the state approves the agreement when it is written.

Joly asked if a $20,000 piece of real estate would be acceptable as bail.

“The state would object to it,” Andrews said. “I see this as a risk to the community.”

Justice Murphy added a condition that Campbell could not have contact with co-defendants and could not live with his mother, Sandi McAlpine.
