PLACERVILLE — Phillip Garrido was ordered held on $30 million bail today by an El Dorado County judge who also said that Garrido posed too great a flight risk and was a danger to the community.
The ruling came at a bail hearing for Garrido and his wife, Nancy Garrido, who are accused in the 1991 abduction of 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard.
Judge Douglas Phimister also approved a request by Garrido’s attorney that he undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Nancy Garrido’s attorney reserved the right to also ask for one for his client.
