LAS VEGAS (AP) — A judge in Las Vegas deemed an Arizona truck driver accused of killing five bicyclists on a Nevada highway last month a danger to the community and a risk not to return to court.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the judge on Monday ordered Jordan Barson jailed without bail pending a preliminary hearing on Jan. 21.
Barson's court-appointed attorney asked for bail to be set at $20,000, but the judge noted Barson could face 100 years in prison if he's convicted of all charges.
