Prosecutors requested $1 million bail for a man accused of shooting at police officers as well as kidnapping and sexually assaulting a sex worker.
Jaime Mendoza, 54, appeared in court Wednesday morning in Las Vegas on the charges related to the sex worker. He faces attempted murder of a first responder and resisting a public officer charges in North Las Vegas.
Justice of the Peace Nadia Wood did not set bail at the hearing, saying she needed to know if the $500,000 bail set in the North Las Vegas would stand given that formal charges have not yet been filed in the case.
