The owner of a Mitchell business, which was raided by several law enforcement agencies last month, pleaded not guilty to DUI charges on Thursday. 44-year-old Cory Cumings appeared in Davison County Court. During the hearing, Assistant State’s Attorney Robert O’Keefe requested that the bond for Cumings be modified or revoked, telling Judge Donna Bucher (boo-ker) that Cumings is a danger to others and the community.
O’Keefe noted that Cumings is accused of stalking an individual and making threatening phone calls. O’Keefe also noted that Cumings continues to break the law and has posted nearly $30,000 in bond money. He said the risk of losing bond money is not deterring Cumings. Attorney Doug Dailey argued that Cumings is not a threat to others and that many charges against Cumings are trumped due to custody and civil disputes.
Dailey also noted that Cumings has been sober for 90 days. Judge Bucher did not modify or revoke the bond for Cumings but warned him to obey laws, or the bond could be revoked. As a result of raids on his business, Mitchell Roofing and Siding, and his residence last month, Cumings has been charged with possession of a controlled substance, stalking, and permitting harassing or threatening phone calls.
