Bail For Homeless Man Accused Of Shooting At Deputies In Rancho Cordova Set At $1.7 Million
RANCHO CORDOVA (CBS13) — A man threatening suicide, who allegedly fired at deputies earlier this week, appeared in court to face charges.
Daniel Bingenheimer, 33, was charged Thursday with assault with a rifle on a peace officer. At his court appearance, he did not enter a plea. His bail has been set at $1.7 million.
Charges stem from calls of shots fired over the radio around 2 p.m. Tuesday as Sacramento County Sheriff's Department deputies were responding to reports of a suicidal man in a walnut orchard near River Bend Park and Rod Beaudry Drive.
As deputies were trying to get Bingenheimer to surrender peacefully, he opened fire, say investigators.
Nobody was injured, but a bullet pierced a park ranger truck.
Authorities say Bingenheimer surrendered to the SWAT team with help of his mother.
His next hearing is July 2.
