Update: Cainan Schierholtz Arraigned, Delays Entering Plea

In a quick court proceeding this afternoon, 23-year-old Cainan Schierholtz of San Ramon was charged in connection with a series of hit-and-run felonies in Danville.

He delayed entering his plea until Aug. 19, and a judge reduced his bail from $350,000 to $200,000.

Schierholtz is charged with a felony DUI with injuries, three counts of felony hit-and-run with injuries and one misdemeanor hit-and-run for a string of crashes along Danville Boulevard and Railroad Avenue Sunday morning.

"Cainan feels terrible about what happened," said Schierholtz's attorney Derek Ewin, a former Contra Costa County prosecutor, outside the courtroom after the two-minute hearing. "He, like all of us, is very thankful that nobody was injured any worse than they were."

On Sunday at about 10 a.m. police said Schierholtz drove his red Dodge pickup along Danville Boulevard and Railroad Avenue, hitting a bicyclist, pedestrian, a truck, an SUV and a light pole. There were no major injuries.

Schierholtz, the younger brother of San Francisco Giants outfielder Nate Schierholtz, is being held at the West County Detention Facility in Richmond.

His appearance today was at the Martinez courthouse, where the next hearing will also take place. A prosecutor has not yet been assigned to the case.
