The man charged with first-degree murder in last week’s deadly crash on Interstate 55 has now been ordered held without bond.
A Sangamon County judge agreed with prosecutors’ request to deny bail to Shane Jason Woods while he awaits trial on charges that he intentionally drove the wrong way on I-55, crashing into two other vehicles and killing the driver of one of those cars.
Woods is also facing a January sentencing in federal court for assaulting a police officer and a journalist during the 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. State’s Attorney Dan Wright says it’s still unclear how the latest charges against Woods will impact his federal sentencing and the timing of the local prosecution against him.
