A man accused of threatening mass violence at a parade last weekend celebrating the Vegas Golden Knights victory in the NHL Stanley Cup championship was ordered Wednesday to remain jailed unless he can post $55,000 bail and enroll in a high-level electronic monitoring program.
Anthony Zuccaro, 31, remained in custody following court appearances in separate cases alleging that he damaged Nevada State Police vehicles with his motorcycle and threatened to either drive a truck into throngs of hockey fans or use gasoline bombs to injure police and revelers on the Las Vegas Strip.
Zuccaro's cases are separate from one involving a 33-year-old man with a history of mental illness who was arrested and jailed last week after allegedly threatening a mass shooting during the Stanley Cup final game on June 13.
"I'm not dangerous," Zuccaro said during the first of two appearances before different judges Wednesday in Las Vegas Justice Court. Standing in shackles as he faced felony vehicle damage and misdemeanor reckless driving charges in the state police vehicle damage case, Zuccaro added that he was "building a life in Las Vegas."
Prosecutor Taylor Reeves told the judge that Zuccaro works at a Las Vegas casino and was from New York but has lived in Nevada for almost two years.
Zuccaro was arraigned minutes later before a separate judge on a felony false threat charge alleging an act of terrorism threatening the Golden Knights parade.
According to a Las Vegas police report, Zuccaro was arrested at home after 2 a.m. Saturday following a series of audio-recorded telephone calls to crisis hotlines in Nevada and Arizona in which he allegedly admitted he had smashed windows and side mirrors of police vehicles.
