A Nevada man awaiting trial on charges related to the storming of the U.S. Capitol has been detained after allegedly making threats directed at Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett and other public officials. The man, identified as Bradley Scott Nelson, faced a federal magistrate judge in Maryland who ruled that his 'escalating rhetoric' warranted his detention until a hearing next week.
In July, U.S. District Judge John Bates revoked Nelson's pretrial release and issued a warrant for his arrest. Bates is set to preside over a hearing next Wednesday to determine whether Nelson should remain detained until his trial for his involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
