New Trial Set in Bribery Case After Jury Deadlock
A Williamsburg James City County circuit court jury declared itself deadlocked after more than four hours of deliberation in the bribery trial of suspended Portsmouth police Lt. Frank A. Bonnewell. Judge Armistead scheduled January 22 for a new trial and discussed possible plea bargaining with counsel, though both sides later ruled it out. Bonnewell faced claims of accepting payoffs from a narcotics suspect to shield a heroin network from 1971 to 1972.
