What this means: On June 1, 2026, defense attorney Chloe Radford Napier filed a Motion to Set Bond in Bibb Superior Court on behalf of Brandon Dewayne Manson. Brandon Dewayne Manson has been held in jail since his arrest on February 13, 2026, and has not been released on bond. Through this motion, the defense is asking the court to set a reasonable bond amount so that the defendant may be released while the case proceeds.

A judge will need to rule on this request before any bond can be set.
