The man accused of intentionally running over and killing boxer Hannah Rapp has reportedly been issued bonds set at more than $1 million.
According to a Tuesday, July 28, report by CBS affiliate KBTX, Charles Medina, 31, appeared in a Texas hearing that morning where a judge set bonds for his “current case and … charges he was already out on bond for” in light of the July 18 death of Rapp. Bonds reportedly totaled $1,229,000.
Us has reached out to Medina’s lawyer for comment.
The outlet broke down each individual bond’s amount, with $500,000 set for “aggravated assault with a deadly weapon” and $250,000 set for “manslaughter” in relation to Rapp’s death after she was hit while riding her bike in College Station, Texas. She was 26 years old.
An additional bond for “criminal mischief” was set at $25,000 and dated Tuesday, July 21 — the day Medina was arrested — while another bond for $250,000 was set for “deadly conduct – bond revocation” without a disclosed date.
Two other bonds stemmed from alleged historic charges: “evading arrest” on March 17, 2025, and “deadly conduct” on February 14, 2024.
According to the outlet, Medina’s legal team had requested that their client be issued bonds set at “$50,000 on each of his charges,” with Medina’s attorney, Sarah Wilkinson, stating in court that the bonds set “were excessive.”
Medina is accused of fatally striking Rapp after passing two cyclists on the morning of her death before stopping, reversing and striking one of them, later identified as Rapp, who died at a local hospital.
Local outlets reported at the time that Rapp had been riding alongside her boyfriend, Will Pollalis.
In the wake of the incident, Brazos County Sheriff’s Office issued a Facebook statement. “On Saturday, July 18, 2026, just before 10:00 a.m., deputies with the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the 2300 block of FM 150 in reference to a major crash involving a vehicle and a bicyclist,” it read. “Initial reports indicated that a vehicle had struck a bicyclist, leaving an adult female lying in the roadway. First responders arrived on scene and provided emergency medical care before the victim was transported to a local hospital. Despite lifesaving efforts, she later passed away at the hospital.”
Us reported on the day of Medina’s arrest that he had a history of legal troubles due to alleged activity while driving. Jail records reviewed at the time showed that Medina was first arrested for reckless driving and evading arrest behind the wheel in 2012. He pled guilty to both counts.
He was later arrested again in 2014 for reckless driving, then again for his alleged involvement in a hit-and-run in 2020.
During Tuesday’s hearing, the judge stated that Medina is a danger to “himself, his family, the public, and law enforcement,” per the outlet. His manslaughter charge will reportedly see a status hearing in 60 days, however the charge “is subject to change once the investigation is over.”
