A Hamilton County man who was shot by a deputy during a car chase over three years ago is being held without bond while awaiting trial.

Ronald Andrew Hutson, 54, allegedly fled from a Hamilton County sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop Aug. 23, 2020. Hutson drove toward multiple deputies including Jordan Long, who opened fire.

Long was placed on a brief administrative leave following the shooting, and Hutson was charged with several crimes in connection with the incident.

On Tuesday, attorney Robin Flores argued Hutson should have a lower bond than $220,000 because his most serious charge was dropped from the case.
