ORIGINIAL REPORT:
CBS 6 has obtained the police dash cam video of a chase and crash that landed a local burn victim behind bars.
The video of the 50-mile chase through several jurisdictions February 17 was shown in a Petersburg courtroom Wednesday as bond was revoked for 20-year-old Glenn Fuselier, Jr. Three children were in the van while the chase was going on.
Fuselier didn't talk during his court appearance as the prosecutor argued that the defendant should not have been granted bond believing Fuselier is a danger to the public. The prosecutor used the video to make the case to the judge.
Two days after the chase, Fuselier admitted to CBS 6 he was the driver of the van and says he regretted his actions. He faces 10 charges including attempted capital murder and felony child neglect.
He was granted a $46,000 bond in Petersburg General District Court in which Fuselier had to put up $4600 to be released until trial.
Les Lindsey, who is the Senior Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney says, "Because of the allegations involved- reckless driving on a busy interstate during rush hour traffic, danger to troopers, danger to innocent motorists, it was our feeling that he should not have a bond under those circumstances."
The three children in the van were under the age of five and belong to Fuselier's fiancee. They were not seriously injured in the crash.
Fuselier first made headlines back in 2006 when he was severely burned over much of his body during a campfire incident.
In court, his attorneys say that if the bond hadn't been revoked, it was unlikely their client would have been able to come up with the bail money.
