Syllabus

Trial court did not abuse its discretion by finding that the statutory requirements for denying bail were met and granting the state's motion to hold appellant without bail. The state presented evidence at the bond hearing that appellant admitted to participating in a robbery, was arrested wearing clothes matching the victims' descriptions, and had a gun that matched a shell casing recovered from the robbery scene. The state also presented video evidence establishing that the robber brandished a gun during the robbery, used it to strike one victim, and fired it in the direction of other fleeing victims. There was also evidence that appellant was on post-release control for a prior aggravated robbery conviction at the time of the robbery, and that he had been released from prison only six weeks earlier. Judgment affirmed.
