A 19-year-old former Illinois man who’s accused of shooting another 19-year-old at Bond Park in Janesville in June is bound over for trial.

Dereese R. Fields of Muscatine, Iowa is charged in Rock County Court with first degree reckless injury with use of a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm by a felon, and disorderly conduct with use of a dangerous weapon.

At Fields’ preliminary hearing Friday morning Janesville Police Officer Lyle Hollingshead testified before Court Commissioner Stephen Meyer found there was enough evidence that a felony had probably been committed.

Fields is currently being held on a $10,000 cash bond. He’s due back in court August 31st for his arraignment.
