Rasul Bonds

MAYVILLE – A Jamestown man pleaded guilty in Chautauqua County Court on Tuesday for his role in a January 2019 shooting that left one person injured.

The Post Journal says 32-year-old Rasul Bonds entered a plea of second-degree attempted assault in connection to the shooting incident that took place Jan 30, 2019, around 2:40 a.m. at the corner of North Main and West Ninth streets in Jamestown.

Jury selection was scheduled to begin this week for Bonds, who was previously indicted on three counts of attempted murder and one count of first-degree assault.

Bonds, who had been jailed awaiting trial, was released after entering the guilty plea Tuesday. He will be sentenced to time served when he returns to court in May.

Another person involved in the shooting, Corey Johnson, has already been sentenced to five years in state prison.

Corey Johnson

JAMESTOWN – A Chautauqua County Grand Jury has handed up a second indictment in the case involving a January 30 drive by shooting in Jamestown.

City Police say 19 year-old Corey Johnson faces three counts of attempted murder and one count of assault in the first degree.

Johnson is the second man to be charged. Earlier this week city police also arrested 30-year-old Rasul Bonds on the same charges after an indictment was handed up by a grand jury.

Police say the drive by shooting took place at about 2:48 a.m. on January 30 near the intersection of N. Main and Ninth Streets in Jamestown as a group of individuals were walking along the road. One male victim was seriously injured after being struck in the face.

Johnson is being held in the county jail on $200,000 Cash Bail.
