Nolan Grove, 14, charged with murder of 12-year-old, may be released on bail

A Red Lion teenager accused of shooting 12-year-old Cain Heiland on April 1, 2023, will be released on bail and placed under house arrest, a York County judge ruled today.

Nolan Donald Grove, 14, who remains charged as an adult and was previously held in the Juvenile Suicide-Proof Unit, may be released on $50,000 bail and placed under supervised house arrest at his Red Lion home under the care of his mother, Danielle Nace, her parents and her husband.

When announcing the verdict, York County Common Pleas Court Presiding Judge Maria Musti Cook said she had changed her decision 180 degrees several times.

“It's one of the most disturbing cases we've had to deal with in 19 years,” she said. However, Cook said she doesn't believe the York County Jail is an appropriate place for a 14-year-old. “We don't build jails for that age group,” she said.

Many were left teary-eyed as Cook outlined the conditions Grove must meet if he is released. Cook said Grove will remain in the care of his mother and maternal grandparents, that he will undergo “electronically monitored house arrest,” and that he will not be allowed to leave the state without prior permission. Authorities will also search the house for weapons before and during his house arrest.

At a bail hearing on August 9, his mother, Danielle Nace, who lives on their property in Red Lion with her husband, John, and their retired parents, testified that no one on the property has firearms in the house and that she owns three firearms that are kept at her son's attorney's office. Nace's father owns several firearms that are kept in West Virginia.

“If your family is able to post bail, you need to be aware of the consequences,” Cook told Grove.
