Statement: Update on Courdarion Craft, Alleged Shooter in Sunday Crime Spree

Update 1:28 PM

After the Courdarion Craft incident, we received inquiries about the bond that had been established. It's important to clarify that our office does not set bonds. This responsibility lies with judicial commissioners and judges. However, we can recommend that bonds be revoked, as we did in Craft's case. Today, our efforts were successful, and a judge has revoked all of Craft's bonds, ensuring that he remains in jail.

The defendant— Courdarion Craft— failed to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on Friday. It is routine practice that we dismiss the case but promptly refer it to the grand jury for an indictment. It's a legal requirement that all defendants have the right to be present during their preliminary hearing. However, it's important to point out that when cases are dismissed- they are not dropped- and it does not signify the end of the case. 

On Friday, after Mr. Craft failed to appear in court and based on newfound information, our office sought to file a bond revocation for his existing charges.

In light of the new charges involving the incidents on Sunday, our office is also requesting that Mr. Craft’s bond be revoked for those charges.
