A Nevada man awaiting trial on charges related to the U.S. Capitol riot has been jailed after allegedly making threats directed at Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett and other public officials.A federal magistrate judge in Maryland ruled Tuesday that Bradley Scott Nelson's 'escalating rhetoric' is grounds for keeping him detained until a hearing next week.In July, U.S. District Judge John Bates agreed to revoke Nelson's pretrial release and issued a warrant for his arrest.
In June, Nelson allegedly threatened Barrett approximately one hour after the Supreme Court issued a ruling limiting the application of a federal obstruction law used to charge hundreds of Capitol riot defendants as well as Trump. Barrett cast a dissenting vote in that case. Nelson said he hoped that somebody would cut her throat 'from ear to ear,' according to the magistrate's order.
