A man who allegedly claimed to have C4 explosives in his car and sped through a security checkpoint at a Donald Trump rally in Michigan over the weekend has pleaded not guilty to charges against him. Steven William Nauta faces four state counts, including making a false threat of terrorism and being in possession of bomb-making materials.
During his arraignment on Monday, Nauta pleaded not guilty to each count. A bond of $1 million was set for him and he was placed under house arrest. Prosecutors allege that Nauta approached a traffic point, held a bottle to police claiming it was 'C4' explosive, and then sped past the checkpoint despite commands to stop.
