The 22-year-old man who was arrested for allegedly mowing down dozens of Los Angeles sheriff’s recruits deliberately with his SUV, leaving several critically injured, has been released from jail to allow police to gather more evidence.
Nicholas Joseph Gutierrez, who was charged with attempted murder of a peace officer, was released at 9:49 p.m. Thursday, according to jail records that cited an insufficient complaint, CNN reported.
“Due to the extreme complexity of the investigation, which includes ongoing interviews, video surveillance review, and additional evidence needed to be analyzed, homicide investigators have released Mr. Gutierrez from the Sheriff’s Department custody,” authorities said in a release.
LA County Sheriff’s Deputy Deanna Mares told CNN that Gutierrez was sprung because investigators need more time to collect evidence for the district attorney’s office.
“It’s not like they arrested the wrong suspect,” Mares told CNN. “They just want to make sure the investigation is going to be complete.”

WTF!!!???? Insanity.
Los Angeles wants to be kinder to criminals
I seem to remember that the J6 political prisoners were held without bail to ensure that they didn’t flee ...
Is this just a Soros DA move?
What a concept.
I wonder if he'll run for the border.
He is facing multiple decades in prison.
I guess because he didn’t have a plow on the front of the car it was merely an accident.
This kind of thing is why vigilante groups spring up.
Released on his own P/R no doubt.
Let’s be honest, it’s not like he questioned covid origins, didn’t wear a mask or made fun of AOC’s “booty” or something serious like that . . .
People of LA need to get tf outta there.
This doesn’t make any sense. They know they have the correct guy. They can continue to collect evidence while he remains in jail. It’s obvious he is a danger to the community.
They are just mocking us now.
The left always outdoes themselves.
Of course he was, it’s California. Before long he’ll be declared a victim of “white supremacy”, and all charges will be dropped.
This guy will disappear like a fart in a hurricane.
How does that work, exactly?
if he ran over Nancy Pelosi’s lawn he would be held without bail....
It doesn’t.......................
Please tell me this isn’t true
“released from jail to allow police to gather more evidence”
I’ve read some stupid things in my life, but that has to take the prize for the most grotesquely stupid thing I have ever read.
It’s California, Jake, forget about it.............................
If this would have been a GAY PRIDE PARADE that guy would have been HUNG BY NOW!
