COLUMBIA - Mehrdad Fotoohighiamâs bond has been revoked, and he was taken into custody after violating conditions of the bond Special Judge Steven Ohmer granted him in early May.
Ohmer ordered Fotoohighiam back to jail after a hearing Wednesday morning. He was being held in the St. Louis City Justice Center on Thursday afternoon pending his transfer back to the Boone County Jail, where he had been held for more than four years before Ohmer released him on his own recognizance.
Also Wednesday, Ohmer granted attorney Gregory Smith s motion to withdraw as Fothoohighiam s counsel, found Fotoohighiam indigent and ordered the Boone County Public Defender s Office to represent him. Smith s withdrawal came three months after attorney Scott Rosenblum withdrew from the case, saying Fotoohighiam refused to follow his advice.
MOUNDSVILLE A woman is suing Walmart after she fell and was injured while on the store s property.
Frances Donahue was at the Walmart store in Moundsville on Sept. 23 and was visiting the hair salon inside the store when she leaned against the accordion-style doors while she was waiting to get her hair done and the doors collapsed, causing her to fall to the floor and suffer injuries, according to a complaint filed in Marshall Circuit Court.
Donahue claims Walmart owed a duty to her and other business invitees to maintain its stores in a reasonably safe manner and failed to do so, which caused her to be exposed to unnecessary risk and caused her injuries. She claims if the doors had been properly maintained and secured, she would not have been injured.
