All suspects ordered detained in attack on CBS News Chicago news crew

The men charged with attacking a CBS News Chicago crew near the Adler Planetarium were ordered detained until trial on Thursday.

All three men appeared together in court, wearing the same clothes as they had on in their mug shots. Two of the three men are charged specifically in the attack on CBS News Chicago's crew.

While the trio will stay behind bars, the judge came to that decision mainly because of the crime's they're accused of currently and past troubles that also involve guns.

Jon Twist, 37, identified in arrest reports as a known gang member, is charged with a hate crime and criminal damage to property in the incident. Both charges are felonies.

The hate crime charges accuse Twist of "shouting racial obscenities" at a CBS News Chicago photographer who is Black, threatening a reporter, and smashing the windshield of a news live truck with a cone on Monday afternoon.

Twist apparently recorded video of himself holding a long gun outside of a liquor store Monday afternoon on Facebook Live. In the post, he's swearing and using racial slurs and you can see he is shirtless.

Rafael Salinas, 29, is also charged with a felony count of criminal damage to property, as well as aggravated battery to a peace officer. He is accused of damaging CBS News Chicago's team's camera, lights and tripod, and of helping Twist smash the windshield of the news van with a cone. The attackers caused thousands of dollars in damage.

Salinas had two active warrants filed against him in May. Records show he ran from police after a hit-and-run, and they were still looking for him.

At the time of the attack, the CBS News Chicago team was getting ready for a live report near the Adler Planetarium.

The attackers suddenly jumped out of a white tow truck with a dog and then moved aggressively towards the crew.

Witnesses said the men tried siccing a German shepherd on CBS News Chicago's photojournalist while yelling racial slurs, but the dog did not obey the command.

Our photojournalist told police it was traumatic and resembled the lynch mob activities of the South.

Cook County prosecutors said a third man, William Huerta, 41, drove the men away from the Museum Campus in the tow truck and into Brighton Park.  

The group was spotted pointing a gun from the tow truck at people in Richard J. Daley Park, at Western Avenue/Boulevard and the Chicago Sanitary Ship Canal, prosecutors said.

Police gave chase, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said Huerta tried to brake-check officers and even put the tow truck in reverse and drove toward officers at one point.

After the police chase, the truck crashed. The three men and a fourth unidentified person ran but were quickly arrested, prosecutors said.

Inside their truck, officers found the rifle that Twist was seen holding in a Facebook Live video just hours earlier.

Salinas is accused of slapping a Chicago police officer while officers tried to arrest him. Salinas also "continued to flee into a major street with continuous traffic, placing himself and others in danger," charging documents said.

All three defendants have a lengthy criminal history. Huerta had previously been charged with attempted first-degree murder before that charge was dropped, and he was also spent six years in prison for gun charges.

Twist previously pleaded guilty to aggravated kidnapping, and all three men have previous charges of using a tow truck to commit crimes.

Both victims, our CBS News Chicago colleagues, and CBS News Chicago management were inside court for the hearing Thursday.
