Shawn Christy made his first federal court appearance Monday after roughly three months on the run.
According to the Republican Herald, Supervisory Deputy Anne Murphy of the United States Marshals Service in northern Ohio said the hearing was in Akron federal court, where Christy was formally read his charges.
The process of extraditing him back to the Pennsylvania Middle District where the case will be heard also began.
His next court appearance is scheduled in Ohio on Oct. 1.
That appearance will involve an identity hearing and a detention hearing, during the latter of which, a federal judge will determine if he will remain in custody or be freed.
For now, Christy remains in federal detention, though the exact location of where he is being held isn’t being released to the public.
