Ogden • Weber County authorities say a miscommunication led to an Ogden murder suspect mistakenly making bail.
Sheriff’s Lt. Joshua Marigoni told the Standard-Examiner on Friday that the error occurred during the booking process last month.
Deputies arrested 35-year-old Cory Michael Fitzwater on Aug. 17 after a gun in his possession was linked to the body of 28-year-old Brian Racine.
Fitzwater was able to post a $20,000 bond after being booked on suspicion of murder.
Marigoni says Fitzwater’s case incorrectly defaulted to a bail amount when jail personnel could not find the criminal code they needed to enter.
