A woman accused of helping kidnap, beat and shoot at a Union Township man will have to wait to learn whether a Schuylkill County judge will grant her request for reduced bail.

Jordan M. Stravinsky, 21, was living in Barnesville when she and Jonathan T. Ford kidnapped Shaun D. Briggs at gunpoint.Stravinsky, represented by Chief Public Defender Michael J. Stine, wants her bail reduced from $150,000 straight cash to a lesser amount so she can get out of jail.Judge Jacqueline L. Russell, after listening to testimony on Friday, said she would study the matter more before ruling.Briggs testified that Stravinsky "manipulated the whole situation," egging Ford on to beat him before they forced him to strip to plunge into a pond, where Ford fired a gun at him."I don't feel comfortable" with Stravinsky's move to get out of jail on reduced bail, he said.He said she laughed during the attack, and that it "seemed to be enjoyable to her."Briggs, who suffered a fractured skull and broken bones in the Sept. 29attack, is still going to physical therapy. He said Stravinsky kept questioning him about whether he had sabotaged her husband's pickup.Later, he testified that "if she complies with the guidelines, I don't have a problem" with bail reduction.If released, Stravinsky, who testified to drug use, dropping out of high school and being under supervision as a juvenile for fighting and running away from home, and working only briefly as an adult, would live with her father, Colin M. Weist, in Williamstown.He testified he would alert authorities if she failed to comply with the rules.Russell was skeptical."Is there any reason I should believe that she would listen to you as an authority figure now when she didn't as a teenager?" Russell asked."You'd have to ask her," Weist answered.Deputy District Attorney Robert Lipkin asked Briggs how far that was from his home. Briggs wasn't sure, but Stravinsky, handcuffed to a chair in the jury box, replied "about a half-hour."She is being held in Schuylkill County prison under $150,000 straight cash bail. Stravinsky also faces charges of possession of a controlled substance and having a small amount of marijuana on Aug. 12in Bloomsburg, Columbia County.State trooper Alan Zulick of the Frackville barracks testified that he "strongly objects" to any bail reduction, and that she presents a "clear and present danger" to Briggs and the public.Stravinsky "actively participated" in each phase of the attack, he said.He gave details of the case, including witness testimony that after shooting at Briggs in the pond, Ford and Stravinsky went to a friend's house, where they burned Briggs' bloody clothes, laughing and saying that if Briggs wasn't dead, they would go back and kill him before heading to a strip club.Briggs believes she held a gun on him at one point, he said.He said Stravinsky was uncooperative, pretended to not be home when troopers arrived to arrest her and that she was confrontational with them."She showed no remorse for anything," Zulick testified.He said he believed she may commit other crimes if freed.Zulick said he had charged her with conspiracy to commit murder of the first degree, conspiracy to commit aggravated assault, conspiracy to commit kidnap to inflict injury/terror, conspiracy to commit terroristic threats, two counts of conspiracy to commit simple assault, conspiracy to commit recklessly endangering another person, conspiracy to commit robbery with threat of immediate serious injury, conspiracy to commit reckless burning or exploding places or property having value that exceeds $5,000 or an automobile, conspiracy to commit criminal mischief with intent to damage property, conspiracy to commit reckless or negligent propulsion of missiles onto roadways, and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.However, Lipkin told him the District Attorney's office filed only charges of conspiracy, tampering with evidence, and kidnapping."I would never file anything I didn't believe had a strong case," Zulick said.Ford, 30, is charged with criminal attempt - murder of the first degree, three counts of aggravated assault, kidnap to inflict injury/terror, conspiracy to commit kidnap to inflict injury/terror, terroristic threats, two counts of simple assault, two counts of recklessly endangering another person, robbery with threat of immediate serious injury, reckless burning or exploding - places or property having value that exceeds $5,000 or an automobile, criminal mischief/ with intent to damage property, reckless or negligent propulsion of missiles onto roadways, and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.He remains jailed under $250,000 straight cash bail.
