Tyler has been in Caddo Correctional Center since surrendering to authorities Aug. 21.

His next court date is Jan. 18 and could include a motion to reduce his $3 million bond, the Caddo district attorney’s office reports.

Tyler is one of three people who have been charged in connection with the assault.

He’s not the only party being held responsible. A grand jury also has indicted:
