His listed weight is 187 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>The record describes his hair as gray and his eyes as brown.<\/p>\n<p>The jail entry showed a bail or fine amount of $0.00. That figure may mean no amount was entered.<\/p>\n<p>It should not be read as proof that release was approved. Release terms can change after a court review.<\/p>\n<p>The roster marks Mulligan\u2019s status as \u201cHold.\u201d It gives no further reason for that status.<\/p>\n<p>Booking records can change as cases move through court. Charges may be amended, reduced, or dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>The listed information reflects the jail record available on July 28, 2026. It should be checked against later court filings.<\/p>\n<h2>Case Assigned to District Court<\/h2>\n<p>The case was assigned to District Court. No hearing date appeared in the booking information.<\/p>\n<p>A felony label appears beside the charge in the jail record. The final charge level may depend on court filings.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors must prove any criminal charge beyond a reasonable doubt. A jail booking does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n<p>Mulligan is presumed innocent unless convicted in court.
