Jonny Santiago still has not been taken to Volusia County, where he is looking at the most serious charges connected to the death of his father.

In Lake County, the 18-year-old is only facing charges for that shootout with deputies that ended when he allegedly crashed his truck into a synagogue in Mount Dora.

Deputies were looking for him because he was already the prime suspect in the murder of his dad, Juan, at their home in Deltona.

In the shootout case, Santiago is set to have a plea negotiation conference in which prosecutors may offer a deal to his lawyer.

Santiagos attorney earlier this month stated they dont plan to plead guilty to anything.

"The family supports him, their brother, their son 100%, we respect his innocence with respect to the homicide, and frankly, we maintain his innocence as to all charges, including Lake County," attorney Brian Packett said.

His lawyer has said Santiago suffers from several mental health issues and they are planning to get an expert to examine him before trial.
