Miguel A. Pacheco Jr., the driver in an off-highway vehicle crash south of Flagstaff resulting in the death of a 19-month-old child, remains in jail in Flagstaff after a Coconino County judge denied a request to grant him supervised pretrial release or reduce his bond.

Judge Stacy Krueger of the Superior Court’s Division 3 chose not to issue an immediate ruling from the bench at an emotional hearing attended by members of Pacheco’s family on Friday, Sept. 5. Instead, Krueger filed her decision on Monday, Sept. 15, stating that any less-restrictive conditions “would be insufficient to assure defendant’s presence at future court proceedings and to protect the community from risk of harm by the defendant.” Copy article link
