JEFFERSON — A man charged with murder is released this week. Marion County authorities said bond for 49-year-old Troy Long was reduced from $275,000 to $10,000 because of his heart condition. Long is charged with murder in the death of 24-year-old Donte Mitchell, who was dating Long’s daughter. Mitchell was found dead May 13 with a gunshot wound to his neck after a domestic disturbance at Long’s house. Long doesn’t have a history of repeated violent offenses and officials don’t believe Long is a flight risk. Jury selection is set Aug. 23.
