TACOMA, WASH. (AP) \u2013 A Tyler man and two others have pleaded not guilty in the fatal stabbing of a fellow serviceman near a large Army base in Washington State. A $2 million bail has been set for the soldier accused of wielding the murder weapon. Prosecutors charged Jeremiah Hill, 23, with first-degree murder, saying he approached Spc. Tevin Geike, 20, and attacked him just as a verbal confrontation between two groups was calming down. The bail was set at a Tuesday afternoon court hearing. Authorities also charged Cedarium Johnson, 21, of Tyler, and Ajoni Runnion-Bareford, 21, with rendering criminal assistance, saying they helped dispose of the murder weapon. Bail for Runnion-Bareford was set at $250,000. Johnson was released and ordered to be contained at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
