A Springfield man who allegedly grabbed an officer's gun and shot his own hand during a struggle last month is being held without bail.
A dangerousness hearing took place in Springfield District Court on Wednesday for 41-year-old Joseph Gonzalez, who was being pursued by police for a robbery at the Metro PCS store on Armory Street when the incident played out on December 27th.
Gonzale's attorney asked the court for reasonable bail.
A judge ruled yesterday that Gonzalez is dangerous and therefore must be held without bail on charges including armed assault to murder.
The judge said that the defense contention that the accused was high on drugs at the time of the attack was no excuse.
