Suspect in N.C. basketball shooting was out on bond for alleged sledgehammer attack
The North Carolina man accused of shooting a 6-year-old girl and her father after a basketball rolled into his yard was out on bond in a December case involving him allegedly attacking a woman with a mini-sledgehammer.
Robert Louis Singletary, 24, appeared in a Florida court on Friday, where he was arrested after fleeing North Carolina. He waived extradition and is being held without bond on a fugitive warrant.
It's not clear if he has obtained an attorney.
Records out of North Carolina show that Singletary was booked into a Gaston County jail on Dec. 2 and charged with first-degree kidnapping, communicating threats and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to inflict serious injury.
Gastonia police said he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend with a mini-sledgehammer, kept her inside his apartment and refused to let her leave for over two hours.

Sounds like they should have kept him under lock and key
