Bonds have been set for a mother and son charged with the death of their neighbor in Wayne County. A $1 million bond has been set for 20-year-old Forest Johnston. He's charged in the shooting death of 41-year-old Belinda Walters. His 46-year-old mother, Mary Johnston, is charged with aggravated assault.
