SALEM, N.H. (AP) - Bail has been set at $1.5 million for a New Hampshire man accused of crashing into three police cruisers during a pursuit, causing minor injuries to two Salem officers.
Thirty-year-old Luis Figueroa was arraigned by video Monday in 10th Circuit Court on 17 counts, including reckless conduct and second-degree assault charges. It wasn’t immediately known if he had a lawyer.
The Eagle-Times reports (https://bit.ly/1fb85qP) prosecutor Jason Grosky requested the high bail, citing Figueroa’s criminal background and saying that Figueroa was able to post $125,000 cash bail following his arrest in a case in 2012.

Judge Robert Stephen said the bail amount seemed high, but granted the request.
Figueroa is being held at the Rockingham County jail and is scheduled for a hearing on April 2.
