Former NICU nurse Erin Strotman will remain out on bond after Henrico prosecutors requested it be revoked during her arraignment hearing Wednesday on six new charges dating back to 2022 involving three babies.

Prosecutor Allison Martin made the bond revocation request orally rather than in writing.

Judge Richard Wallerstein Jr. said the new charges were of “lesser concern” concerning bond because they occurred “prior to the pending matters” already before the court.

He told Martin she could file a formal written motion to contest Strotman’s bond.

While arguing against the bond revocation, Strotman’s co-counsel, Jeff Everhart, said his client was “not a danger to the community,” and the “hits keep on coming” and “they run the parade” about the Commonwealth.

In court, Everhart said he believes “something else” may be coming up in two weeks related to Strotman, suggesting more charges may be coming. Commonwealth’s Attorney Shannon Taylor said she was unable to comment.
