MESA COUNTY, Colo. (KREX) - The courtroom was filled, at least on one side. On one side Tuesday sat the loved ones and relatives of CDOT workers Nathan Jones and Trent Umberger; there were no empty seats. The other end of the courtroom held only a handful of people for Patrick Sneddon. He is charged with the deaths of Jones and Umberger, as well as his passenger, Kathi Ann Wallace, last September in Palisade. Sneddon was due in court as part of a bond hearing to see whether the $100,000 cash-only bond should be reduced or changed. Judge Jeremy Chaffin changed the bond to cash or surety but kept the amount the same. Sneddon is charged with three counts of vehicular homicide while driving under the influence and failure to yield the right of way to a stationary public service utility vehicle (Colorado's Move Over Law) among other charges. Sneddon allegedly had marijuana in his system following the crash. Chaffin had a lot to consider before his decision was made. Chief Deputy District Attorney Robert Fisher told the court Sneddon does have a criminal history. He was convicted for possession of marijuana and careless driving both in 2013. Fisher said this arrest shows Sneddon has a long-standing relationship with the drug. Interestingly, Wallace, who Sneddon had referred to as his wife to investigators, was not ever married to the man, according to Fisher. There is reportedly not one document to show they were ever hitched or even common law married. Sneddon's defense said his bond should be lowered as he has to take care of his son, who has autism. Sneddon is worried his child would become homeless if he were to stay in jail. As a veteran, Sneddon receives benefits through the VA because of his disability to help his son. Trent's brother, Steven, said Sneddon "should be sitting in jail" for what he allegedly did. Troy - Trent and Steven's brother - said Sneddon should not be able to drive a car as it is like a weapon, adding the man's actions were like if someone accidentally killed someone with a firearm. Wendy Jones, Nathan's mother, told the court that her son and Trent followed all the rules and safety regulations that come with their jobs as CDOT workers. But Sneddon "didn't follow the rules" that day and now they "don't get to see their families," Wendy added. Chaffin ruled Sneddon cannot drive or possess marijuana or alcohol. He will be regularly substance tested. He has a curfew as he must be home from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. He also cannot have contact with the victims or witnesses, and he can't leave the state. A preliminary hearing is set for 1:30 p.m., March 28.
