Brown being held on $1 million bond

Sean Brown, one of two 18-year-old Sugar Land men charged with the murder of 16-year-old Ashton Glover, is in the Fort Bend County Jail under a $1 million bond. Brown waived his extradition rights in a Michigan court Monday, arrived in Fort Bend County on Wednesday and was arraigned yesterday.

Though the other suspect, Matt McCombs, has admitted shooting Glover, police say Brown isn't talking. "It is my understanding that he is speaking very little other than giving the basics, name, Social Security number. I’m sure he’s following the advice of his attorney and not giving any information concerning the crime itself," Craig Brady of the Fort Bend County sheriff's department told KHOU. Speaking of Brown's attorney, David Cunningham, he missed Brown's hearing Thursday because he was stuck in traffic, but he said he'd make the next one Sept. 1 and ask for a lower bond. In the meantime, Cunningham seemed concerned for Brown's weight: "It's difficult for anyone to be in jail, especially someone that young and that slight," he said. "He's a very small individual."

Brown and McCombs, who attended Clements High School with Glover, were caught trying to flee to Canada on July 12.
