Davis has been in custody since being arrested Wednesday night by police for allegedly stealing a vehicle an event unrelated to Loncar s killing. He has been charged separately with receiving stolen property and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
Davis will not be eligible for pretrial release on cash bail, Krasner said. Just two weeks before Loncar s killing, Davis was released on substantially reduced bail in an armed kidnapping and assault case, court records show.
He posted $20,000 bail on charges of motor vehicle theft and kidnapping, plus another $12,000 on charges that included aggravated assault on a prison guard. Those totals, posted Dec. 29, were reduced from $100,000 and $200,000, respectively.
The pair initially had several weapons charges against them, but those have been amended to include charges for attempted interference with primaries and elections, conspiracy and hindering or delaying performance of a duty, according to the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office.
