A Nevada man awaiting trial on charges that he stormed the U.S. Capitol has been jailed after he allegedly made threats directed at Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett and other public officials.
Bradley Scott Nelson’s “escalating rhetoric” is grounds for keeping him detained until a hearing next week, a federal magistrate judge in Maryland ruled Tuesday. 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.Nelson last month allegedly posted an image of Attorney General Merrick Garland with apparent crosshairs drawn on Garland’s head.
In February, Nelson allegedly posted an image of New York Attorney General Letitia James with crosshairs on her head and he profanely expressed a desire to see her “head explode, or at least the back of her head blowout.” That same month, a New York judge ordered Trump to payNelson, a long-haul truck driver, also is accused of posting videos in which he expressed hatred for two FBI agents assigned to his Jan. 6 case.
“The government describes Nelson as becoming so ‘verbally combative and confrontational’ towards one agent that a deputy United States Marshal escorted the agent to their car due to safety concerns,” Austin wrote in his order.Nelson’s jury trial is scheduled to start Dec. 10. He was arrested in March 2023 on misdemeanor charges, including disorderly conduct. Surveillance videos captured Nelson in the mob of rioters who entered the Capitol on Jan.
