WESTMINSTER, Calif. -- A veteran Long Beach policeman accused of using a pinball machine to lure six teenage girls to his Orange County home, pleaded innocent Monday to 21 counts of felony child molestation.
Michael Bruce McDonald, 42, of Huntington Beach, was ordered to return to court May 19 by Municipal Court Judge Ragnar Engebretson, who lowered his bail from $250,000 to $100,000. About a dozen people appeared in court in support of McDonald.
