The mother of the shooter at a child's birthday party has been denied bail while the shooter's girlfriend was granted bail, officials say.
HARFORD COUNTY, MD ? The mother of the man wanted by police for a shooting at a birthday party inside the Harford Mall has been denied bail.
Lisa Gregg, 60, was denied bail Tuesday. However, the presiding judge granted bail for her co-defendant, Lateia Green, 37, with GPS monitoring. Police continue to search for the man they say fired shots at the mall, who was identified by police as Gregg's son, Wesley Lyons, 35.
While both the defense and prosecution agreed to home detention for Gregg, the judge disagreed, noting that Gregg's son remains at large, and, according to police, Gregg gave a fake address to investigators when she was arrested and officials say she helped Lyons escape, according to WBAL

The judge granted an unsecured $5,000 in bail to Green, who is Lyons' girlfriend, based on the fact that she has no criminal history and has a verified address.
