A Hurricane man wanted in connection with a shooting two weeks ago near Toquerville was arrested and charged with attempted murder on Friday.
Charles Kenneth Amagrande, 23, was being held in Washington County Jail on $100,000 bond. He also was charged with riot and felony criminal mischief.Amagrande was arrested after Washington County sheriff's Detective Steve Stovall passed him in a car near Toquerville. The car belonged to Amagrande's girlfriend, April Bernbrock, 19, also of Hurricane.
Bernbrock was arrested earlier this week on a charge of witness tampering. She is accused of threatening the main witness in the shooting case, 22-year-old Hurricane resident Jason Conner.
Amagrande is accused of shooting 12 to 14 rounds from an assault rifle at Conner on April 28.
Amagrande was scheduled to go to trial on Monday in a separate case, in which he is accused of threatening another person with a baseball bat. He was charged with threatening with a dangerous weapon and interfering with a legal arrest, both misdemeanor charges, following the Nov. 23, 1996, incident at The Tomb, a former dance club in St. George.
