PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (WMDJ) – A Johnson County man charged with vehicular homicide following the death of two young girls in a 2023 DUI crash is asking for bond reduction as he awaits trial.

Attorney Ned Pillersdorf is seeking a second bond reduction for Marcus Logan Auxier, 21, of Nippa, after Judge Johnny Ray Harris originally agreed to lower the bond from $1 million to $100,000 in cash or property.

Pillersdorf says Auxier is incapable of posting the amount and has asked for a $2,500 bond along with home incarceration.

A hearing will be held on Thursday in Floyd Circuit Court.

Auxier is accused of operating a vehicle while impaired in July 2023, which resulted in the deaths of 16-year old Kendra Jade Moreno and 13-year old MaKenna Reese Barnett.
