The town of Chester highway superintendent who police say shot a lost DoorDash driver looking for directions faced an attempted murder charge Monday in Orange County, but a judge declined the prosecution's effort to raise bail in the case.

State Police allege John Reilly III, 48, opened fire on a DoorDash driver trying make a delivery May 2 in the town's Valerie Drive neighborhood, shooting multiple times and hitting the victim once in the back, causing serious injuries.

Reilly on Monday was charged with second-degree attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon charges. 

Prosecutors described Reilly as a flight risk and asked the court to increase bail set in the case from $250,000, which Reilly had posted, to $500,000. The defense said Reilly would turn in his passport, an offer the court accepted.

The judge ruled not to raise bail. Reilly will remain under probation supervision and wear an ankle monitor for at least 30 days.

State Police arrested Reilly on May 3.

Supervisor Brandon Holdridge has said the town was aware and deeply troubled by what has been reported in the case. He said Reilly is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

"As an elected official, the Town Board does not have control over Mr. Reilly’s future as Highway Superintendent,” Holdridge said in a statement.
