Bail bondsman in murder case now facing new charges

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — An Indianapolis bail bondsman accused of murdering two teens on Christmas Eve now faces more charges in an unrelated case.

On Monday, Kevin Watkins was charged with criminal confinement and impersonation of a public servant. Both are felonies.

According to court documents, Watkins handcuffed a teen and questioned him about breaking into his house.

The teen said occurred on Dec. 20, then Watkins returned a few days later saying that there would be a bloodbath on Christmas. Watkins allegedly said “when they all duct taped and screaming for their mamas, they ain’t going to be saying nothing.”

Court documents say that Watkins was wearing a badge, referred to himself as a “fed,” and showed a gun and a knife on his waist.

According to the teen’s mother, Watkins said the burglars left his television but stole his guns. This runs contrary to a police report Watkins filed on Dec. 19, claiming a flat-screen television had been stolen.

The boy’s mentor also claims that Watkins said that if the missing guns didn’t show up, there was “gonna be a bloodbath.”

These new charges come less than a month after Watkins was charged with the murder of 15-year-old Timmee Jackson and 16-year-old Dionne Williams.

The bodies of the boys are yet to be found.

Watkins is due back in court in that case on Feb. 12. A fight broke out at a previous hearing in the case.

Ella McGee lives around the corner from Watkins. She said her family always has the missing boys on their minds.

She said her nephew and grandson, “felt kind of angry because you know they played basketball with those boys in the summer time.”

Her grandson Robert Golliday showed us the park where he played sports with Dionne and Timmee. He also pointed out the benches near the playground where they sat around cracking jokes.

When asked if it was tough to be back on the court knowing his friends were gone he answered, “Just brings back some of the good memories to take away the bad ones.”

But until their bodies are found, McGee fears the bad memories can’t be replaced.

“Find out at least where them kids at,” she said. “Bring some kind of closure to the parents.”
