Kidder Man Due in Court This Week on Murder Charge & Four Other Felonies

A Kidder man will make an initial appearance in Caldwell County Court this week on five felony charges, including a murder charge.

Court documents say Donald Vincent Bates Jr. faces felony charges of second-degree murder, first-degree assault or attempted assault, armed criminal action, unlawful use of a weapon, and first-degree property damage.

Records list all five charges from July 10.

The court denied Bates’ bond last Friday.

He will next appear in court on August 4 at 10:00 a.m.
