The man accused of driving into a group of law enforcement recruits as they were training on Wednesday has been charged with attempted murder on peace officers, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's office said. Other charges are pending.
Nicholas Joseph Gutierrez was arrested at 3:15 p.m. local time Wednesday. He was denied bail, according to the sheriff's office.
Earlier that day, 25 people, including Gutierrez, were injured when the 22-year-old allegedly drove down a street the wrong way and crashed into a group of 75 law enforcement recruits who were on an early morning run. Five recruits were in critical condition as of Wednesday afternoon. The driver passed a field sobriety test and"blew a 0.0 on a breathalyzer," according to Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva.Paramedics set up a triage area at the scene and transported the injured to seven hospitals for treatment.
Those who were at the front of the formation could see the vehicle coming and were able to get out of the way, while those behind couldn't see and took the brunt of the impact, Villanueva said.
