FORT MYERS, Fla. — The man accused of nearly running over two WINK News reporters received a $51,000 bond Friday morning.

Walter Crappse, 21, of Cape Coral, was charged with criminal mischief, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Bond was set at $51,000 for all charges.

While Crappse had no prior criminal history, a judge prohibited him from having any contact with Channing Frampton, Nicole Valdes or any other WINK News reporters. In addition, Crappse has to hand over all weapons to law enforcement.
