A judge denied bond Friday for Travis and Greg McMichael, two of the white men charged with the murder of Black jogger Ahmaud Arbery.

Chatham County Superior Court Judge Timothy Walmsley said there was evidence of a significant risk of danger to the community if they were released from jail.

The judge previously denied bond for the third defendant, William “Roddie” Bryan.

Each man faces nine counts on charges including malice murder and felony murder in Arbery’s death.

In February, the men allegedly pursued Arbery as he ran through their neighborhood. They’ve said they suspected him of recent break-ins. Video shows Travis McMichael confronting Arbery, who was shot in the ensuing struggle.
