Judge Revokes Bond for Jacoby Tillman in Orange County Trail Attack Case

The ruling follows allegations of social-media contact with a witness in defiance of a no-contact order.

Overview

  • the court found Tillman violated release conditions by posting a TikTok and referencing the witness, breaching a no-contact order.
  • tillman was arrested on Oct. 10 and initially charged with attempted sexual battery, battery by strangulation and false imprisonment, with prosecutors later adding attempted first-degree murder.
  • he had been freed on a $9,500 bond before Tuesday’s hearing, a release that drew public criticism from Orange County Sheriff John Mina.
  • prosecutors have filed for pre-trial detention and seek a habitual violent felony offender designation, which they say could raise potential sentencing to a minimum of 15 years and up to life.
  • authorities allege a July 25 attack on the Little Econ Greenway in which the runner was grabbed from behind, choked into unconsciousness and found partially undressed.
