Bail Posted by Man Accused of Causing Death of HWP Trooper After High Speed Chase

The Mexico, Missouri man accused of causing the death of Highway Patrol Trooper James Bava last summer during a high speed chase has posted bail. On Wednesday (2), the judge in the case granted a bond reduction for 21 year old Serghei Comerzan. Comerzan’s bond was reduced from $250,000 to $100,000 dollars. Trooper Bava died in August after his patrol car crashed and caught fire in Audrain County while pursuing a motorcycle allegedly driven by Comerzan. Comerzan is facing several charges including 2nd degree murder. Trooper Bava had been stationed in the Patrol’s Troop “F” which serves several mid-Missouri counties including the tri-county area.
