(A-P, Des Moines) A judge has set the bond at $10 million for a man charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of two Iowa police officers . Judge William Price set the bond for 46-year-old Scott Michael Greene during Greene’s first court appearance today (Friday).

Green was apprehended Wednesday, hours after 38-year old  Des Moines Sgt. Anthony Beminio and 24-year old Urbandale officer Justin Martin were killed. Both officers were shot in ambush-style attacks while sitting in their cars in separate locations.

If convicted, Green would receive an automatic sentence of life in prison without parole. His next hearing is set for Nov. 14th. Greene appeared in pink jail inmate clothing at the hearing, staring straight ahead without saying anything. The hearing took less than a minute in the Polk County Jail, which has a small courtroom.

Prior to the shootings, Greene was facing intense money problems, had been found by a judge to hit and financially exploit his mother, and was ordered to move out of her basement hours before the shootings. He was arrested Thursday afternoon after detectives questioned him at the Des Moines police station. Greene was secured with the handcuffs that had belonged to the patrolmen who were killed in ambush-style attacks, and was later booked into the county jail.
