Francis Pusok, 31, bailed out of jail the day after he was taken into custody Thursday for showing up roughly five hours late to a scheduled court hearing, jail and court records show.
Pusok is facing a slew of felony charges related to an April 9 chase, including felony evading and animal cruelty.
The pursuit subsequently made headlines after a TV news helicopter captured footage of deputies beating him.
He was out on bail before Thursday's procedural hearing at the Victorville courthouse, scheduled for 8:55 a.m., but he did not show up until 2:04 p.m.
He was remanded into custody with bail set at $600,000, ultimately posting bail and getting released at 2:33 p.m. Friday, jail records show. He is due back in court Oct. 1.
