The Florida woman who shot up Rihanna‘s house with an assault rifle had her bail reduced from $10.2 million to $1.8 million.
Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, 35, is charged with attempted murder and other felony counts. She pleaded not guilty during a court appearance on Wednesday, March 25, TMZ reported.
Her public defender asked the judge to lower Ortiz’s bail from $1.8 million, but the judge refused. Her bond is set at $1,875,000, TMZ reports.
Ortiz was seen behind glass in a custody area in court. She only spoke to waive her right to a speedy preliminary hearing, the Associated Press reports.
Ortiz’s lawyer entered a not guilty plea then withdrew it during an arraignment hearing on March 11.
Ortiz drove from Orlando, Florida to Beverly Glen, California, to confront Rihanna. She fired at least 10 rounds at the house. Multiple rounds pierced a wall.
The “We Found Love” singer and her children were not harmed in the attack.
Rihanna and her family fled California after the shooting. She was spotted with A$AP Rocky in New York City about 2 weeks later.
Livestream videos on social media in the weeks leading up to the shooting show Ortiz suffering from paranoid delusions, hallucinations and disorganized thinking. She made death threats against Rihanna in one video in which she seemed to be hearing voices.
Mental patients in police custody are routinely seen by a state psychiatrist who prescribes psychotropic drugs.
