Bond has been set for an Evansville man facing attempted murder charges.
On Tuesday, a judge set bond for 49-year-old Brian Powers at 100 thousand dollars. Powers was also ordered not to have any contact with his alleged victim.
Evansville Police say Powers stabbed Robert Brown as he slept on a bench at the METS bus station early Monday morning. Powers was later arrested at the United Caring Shelter.
Officers say Powers may also be connected with the stabbings of two other homeless men at Dress Plaza last week.
Powers is due in court again on Friday.

Does this guy have priors?...This is exactly why the police need to conduct riverfront sweeps overnight,they should ID people sleeping down there .The sweep should include nearby streets and alleys vacant buildings and parks from Wabash and Ohio to the marina point.
Canine patrol should be incorporated in the sweep searching for any illegal substances and stolen property clean up the Downtown River front so as to remove this kind of danger on a regular basis,
