SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — An 18-year-old man suspected of shooting a Sioux City police officer has had his bond set at $300,000.

The Sioux City Journal reports that Isaiah Mothershed’s bond was set Thursday. Mothershed’s preliminary hearing has been set for February 19th in Woodbury County District Court.

Mothershed has been charged with two counts of attempted murder and five counts of robbery. Each count carries a 25-year prison sentence.

He is accused of pulling a gun from a couch while his hands were handcuffed behind his back and shooting Officer Ryan Moritz in the leg while being arrested Sunday morning on the robbery counts. As officers struggled with Mothershed, the gun fired again, shooting Mothershed in the leg.

Mothershed was taken to jail after being released from the hospital Wednesday.
