LAS VEGAS (AP) - A 23-year-old man who was arrested in February and indicted on charges that he threatened to carry out a mass shooting larger than the killing of 58 people on the Las Vegas Strip is being released to a nonprofit group home.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that a judge on Thursday ordered Calin Howard Hodges to await trial at a North Las Vegas residence that offers services for the mentally ill.
Hodges’ trial on a charge of making a terrorist threat is expected to start May 14. He could face up to 20 years in prison if he’s convicted.
