Deeply concerned over testimony detailing 24-year-old Jacob Embreyās criminal record, 226th State District Judge Velia Meza denied Embreyās request to reduce his $200,000 bond on Wednesday. āIn looking at just the video itself, in the beginning, we were able to get a good description of the suspect,ā Pena said during testimony. The suspect was then identified as Embrey, who Pena testified had an extensive criminal record, including arrests on drug and assault charges. āI have requested a $75,000 bond, but anything that you feel might be sufficient would be greatly appreciatedā, defense attorney Eric DeWalt told Judge Meza.
