Bail Set For Charles Wastler In Emmitsburg Killing Case
Charles Gordon Wastler, a Taneytown resident, was released on a 64000 property bond after a May 25 1991 shooting that killed Michael Eugene Brooks 31 in Harney Road home of Rachel Wantz 53. Wastler 42 had two preliminary hearings scheduled for June 27 in District Court. He was held without bail previously when District Court denied bail citing the crime’s violent nature. Defense argues health issues and care needs of his wife and child, both dwarfs, plus polio and a hip replacement. Wastler says self defense after Brooks threatened him with a firearm shovel and butcher knife during an argument.
