BARTLETT — A Superior Court judge denied bail to a YouTube star charged with the attempted murder of a Bartlett police officer.

However, Carroll County Attorney Keith Blair said Erik Conover, 35, of New York City, should remain in jail and still poses a danger to the community. The prosecutor cited drone footage allegedly showing Conover trying to run over Officer Cameron Emmett with his Jeep.
