On August 23, St. Lucie County Judge Lauren Sweet denied him bond, citing his immigration status and risk of flight. The judge found probable cause for three counts of vehicular homicide and three counts of manslaughter, all classified as forcible felonies under Florida law. Each vehicular homicide charge carries a potential 15-year sentence.
