(KAIR)--Formal charges are now filed, and the bond increased, for a Holton man accused of shooting his father to death, and shooting at Jackson County law enforcement officials, during a standoff Tuesday.
The charges are outlined in a criminal complaint filed Thursday in Jackson County District Court by County Attorney Shawna Miller.
49-year-old Derrick Bohnenkemper is charged with one count of first-degree murder, five counts of attempted capital murder, and one count of aggravated assault.
He made his first court appearance Thursday by video.
A preliminary hearing is tentatively set for September 27.
Bohnenkemper remains in custody at the Jackson County Jail, with his bond now set at $1 million.
The body of his 73-year-old father, Gaylen Bohnenkemper, was found inside a residence, located north of Holton, after the younger Bohnenkemper ultimately surrendered to authorities following the more than 5-hour standoff, at the residence, Tuesday morning.
The elder Bohnenkemper, of Holton, will be laid to rest Monday following 11:00 services at the Trinity Lutheran Church, in Holton.
During the standoff, it's alleged that Derrick Bohnenkemper fired a shotgun in the direction of law enforcement, with the criminal complaint alleging that he was attempting to kill Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, and four other law enforcement officers. That attempt, which caused no injuries, led to the five counts of attempted capital murder.
