Roommates, it looks like YouTube Star Corey Pritchetts request for a lower bond in his kidnapping case has been denied.
On Thursday, Corey Pritchett Jr. was brought before a judge in an orange Harris County jail jumpsuit and handcuffs. His attorney requested a bond reduction in Pritchett’s kidnapping case.
According to KPRC 2 Houston, Pritchetts financial affidavit reveals that the Youtuber requested a public defender. The YouTuber is reporting $0 in monthly income and no listed assets. Following the attorneys request, the judge decided to keep his bond set at $100,000 on each charge after prosecutors argued that Pritchett is a flight risk.
During the probable cause hearing, prosecutors mention that Pritchett also has an outstanding warrant in Georgia. The details about the warrant have yet to be disclosed.
Previously, on January 18th, The Shade Room reported that Pritchett was booked into Harris County Jail on two counts of aggravated kidnapping, with a combined bond amount of $200,000. Corey was arrested for allegedly threatening to assault and murder two women.
Before Corey Pritchett was arrested in Houston, the YouTuber released a 12-part series on his TikTok account to deny the kidnapping allegations. Throughout the series, he explained how he met the two young ladies, when things went wrong, and why he went to Qatar.
While TikTok users tuned in to hear hide side of the story, many left conflicting comments as they decided whether to believe him or not. Here’s what they had to say:
@_ladiiredd: Im glad youre telling your side!! I dont think youre guilty
