“Dennis explained that he hit one of the men with the butt of a rifle and dropped the clip in front of the house by the semi-truck,” according to Bauer’s probable cause statement. Ward said Bauer threatened him over the missing magazine.īauer told him if he “wanted to save his ass” he should go back to Iverson’s Bear Meadow Road residence off Deer Park Road “to find the clip that Dennis dropped,” according to the interview. Ward talked about the magazine during two recorded interviews with sheriff’s Detective Jeff Waterhouse, the lead investigator, and State Patrol Detective Mike Grall, both of whom testified.ĭuring the interviews, which comprise 11½ pages of Bauer’s 39-page probable cause statement, Ward said he overheard Bauer tell LeTellier the day after the murders that Bauer had lost a black “clip” for Bauer’s. Ward repaired firearms, according to a probable cause statement. She said she, Ward and Bauer were involved in dealing methamphetamine, that Bauer, Ward and the Iversons routinely wore guns and even carried them to the bathroom, LeTellier has testified. Kallie Ann LeTellier, 37, is serving more than 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder for killing May and agreeing to testify against Ward and Bauer, saying they committed the murders as retribution for the Iversons raping her. He is serving three consecutive life terms without parole. The witness for the prosecution refused to answer questions or acknowledge pleading guilty to first-degree aggravated murder and 16 firearms-related counts in connection with the deaths.
Before that, he was a trainman and engineer for CSX, being promoted later to Maryland safety manager for the railroad.Ryan Warren Ward, 40, a drug-deal enforcer and an associate of Bauer’s, appeared in court Wednesday in shackles after threatening violence. He was managing director of Willis Towers Watson’s transportation division, “where he provided risk management and safety services to multiple transportation clients,” the TCA said. Bowman includes both white-collar and blue-collar work. Ward’s background before his time with D.M. “In response to several members’ urging him to apply for the president’s position, Ward recused himself from the search process before its outreach began in late August,” the statement said. Ward was urged to apply for the role, according to the TCA statement. (Spear earlier this year had his contract extended five years.) And although Chris Spear, president and CEO of the American Trucking Associations, had worked in the federal government earlier in his career, he was hired out of Hyundai in 2016. More recently, Anne Reinke, the head of the Transportation Intermediaries Association, became head of that 3PL-focused organization after a stint in the Department of Transportation and a long career with Class 1 railroad CSX.
For example, Lyboldt was senior vice president of dealership operations at the National Automobile Dealers Association when he joined TCA in December 2015. The move might be seen as unusual in that such positions tend to be filled by someone who has experience in the Washington lobbying scene. TCA’s prepared statement on Ward’s ascension said he would retire from those two positions at D.M. Rather, he comes from the industry, serving as president and CEO of D.M. Ward’s background is not as an association head.
James Ward, currently the group’s volunteer chair, will become president after the retirement of current President John Lyboldt. The Truckload Carriers Association has turned in-house to find its new president.
