A case involving an Ionia man accused of killing a woman in Benton County on May 15 has been bound over to circuit court.
According to a news release, authorities responded to a residence in Ionia, where a woman said 45-year-old Travis Henderson was pointing a shotgun at her. When authorities arrived, 47-year-old Khristy Clark was found deceased from apparent gunshot wounds. Henderson reportedly fled the scene and was taken into custody after a short standoff with law enforcement at about 10 p.m. on May 16.
Online court documents say Henderson has been charged with a Class A Felony for First-Degree Murder and an Unclassified Felony for Armed Criminal Action. The judge has ordered no bond.
Henderson, who entered a not-guilty plea on May 21, waived his preliminary hearing on Thursday, July 25. He is scheduled to be arraigned at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, August 20, at Benton County Circuit Court.
