Former NFL tight end Kevin Ware Jr. has been denied bond for the murder of his girlfriend, whose body was found in December, eight months after she was reported missing.
Ware, 41, made his first court appearance Tuesday since being charged with the murder of 29-year-old Taylor Pomaski, who vanished after a party at Ware’s home in Spring, Texas, in late April 2021. The judge ordered the athlete held without bail for the murder charge and issued a $550,000 bond for charges of tampering with evidence and unlawful possession of a weapon.
Ware was out on bond at the time of Pomaski’s disappearance, arrested six days earlier after police who pulled him over for speeding allegedly found an ounce of cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamines, a loaded AK-47 and a loaded 9mm pistol in his possession. He was indicted on a murder charge in July and has been behind bars since then.
