Statement from DA Mulroy Regarding Chase Harris (alleged to be the shooter of the incident that took place at Huey’s, April 30)

We received several questions regarding the case of Chase Harris, who is alleged to be involved in the Huey's shooting. Consistent with our normal practice and with our prior public statements on this, we sought pretrial detention for Mr. Harris at the first opportunity because of his recent record of repeated offenses.

We obtained an indictment against Mr. Harris on Tuesday of one count of theft of property over $10,000 and another count of theft of property over $2,500. We recommended a bond of $210,000. Mr. Harris is currently in custody. If he makes his bond of $210, 000 through a bonding company, there will be a "source hearing" to determine whether he obtained the bail funds from legal sources. We will seek continued detention, pending such hearing.

Thanks to the Memphis Police Department and the U.S. Marshals for their assistance in presenting the case to the grand jury, and in placing Mr. Harris in custody.
