27 year old Shawn Christy, of McAdoo, who allegedly threatened President Donald Trump, is headed to Schuylkill County Court on unrelated charges after waiving his right to a preliminary hearing Tuesday for allegedly breaking into a Rush Township restaurant in August 2018 and stealing and eating food.
According to the Republican Herald, Rush Township police allege Christy broke into Skipper Dippers on Aug. 24, 2018.
Magisterial District Judge James R. Ferrier bound over all charges for court after Christy waived his right to the hearing.
After the brief proceeding, Christy returned to prison, where he is being held in lieu of bail. Judge Charles M. Miller declined to grant him bail at a hearing on Friday.
