BELMONT, N.C. — A Belmont man had his bond increased after he was accused of attempting to kill his wife after taking out a $3 million life insurance policy.
A judge set David Warlick’s bond in September at $2 million. Warlick was hoping to get that reduced but the judge raised it to $3 million.
Several of Warlick’s former employees came to court Tuesday to tell the judge he is a danger to the public.

They brought letters detailing how they say he has threatened them over the years.
Warlick owns a profitable car wash in Belmont.
Police reported finding several guns, silencers and ammunition around his house, and had information that he planned to leave the country.
In September, the district attorney told the judge someone will die if Warlick gets out of jail.

There is a good chance that Warlick will stay in jail until the trial.
