A Nevada man awaiting trial on charges related to the U.S. Capitol riot has been jailed after allegedly making threats directed at Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett and other public officials.
A federal magistrate judge in Maryland ruled Tuesday that Bradley Scott Nelson's "escalating rhetoric" is grounds for keeping him detained until a hearing next week.
In July, U.S. District Judge John Bates agreed to revoke Nelson's pretrial release and issued a warrant for his arrest. Bates is scheduled to preside over a hearing next Wednesday on whether to keep Nelson detained until his trial on charges stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol by a mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump.
