During the arraignment in court, bail for Erickson and Turner was reduced to $5,000 each. Johnson-Carson and Williamson had previously announced their bail amounts.

The charges followed a settlement reached earlier this week between the Hyatt Regency and attorneys for Mitchell's family.

All four suspects must appear in court again in October.
