LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Chelsea Hogue, 23, was an adventurous University of Louisville student who was studying to become a nurse. Now, she is in a coma fighting for her life.

Hogue and her friend Meghan Lake were driving on Taylorville Road at Breckenridge Lane on Feb. 7 when Louisville Metro police said Jose Munoz Aguilar, 32, crashed into their car.

Police said Aguilar was drunk at the time of the crash, which also injured Lake. On Thursday, Lake’s attorney, Martin Pohl, said she was conscious and will need several surgeries.

"Hopefully justice is served for the two families involved," Pohl said.

Aguilar walked out of the courthouse on Thursday after prosecutors asked for his bond to be increased to $100,000. The prosecution asked his assault charges be changed to assault in the first degree. They also added charges for wanton endangerment and criminal mischief. By law, the defense has to be given a written notice to increase the bond amount. The prosecution asked for bond to be increased because of the severity of Hogue's injuries.

Aguilar bonded out of jail on Feb. 10 and was released by Metro Corrections to the Oldham County Jail, where they held him on an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer.

Just one day later, Aguilar was released from ICE's custody. In a statement, ICE said they released him because he had "No prior significant misdemeanor or felony conviction record." They continued, "He does not currently meet ICE enforcement priorities."

"I've never seen ICE be reckless in that regard where they'll just cut someone lose," Immigration attorney Jeffrey McClain said.
