DENVER—A man accused of threatening to kill President Barack Obama and blow up a suburban Minneapolis mall appeared in court in Denver for a brief hearing wearing camouflage.
Twenty-year-old Timothy Gutierrez of Andrews, Texas, appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Boyd Boland on Friday for a status conference and meeting with Denver federal public defender Brian Leedy.
Gutierrez remained detained without bond pending a resolution in the case. Leedy said Gutierrez was wearing his street clothes—a camouflage T-shirt and pants—because he had just been transported from Durango, where he had turned himself in Jan. 29 at the FBI’s office. A judge set a trial date of April 6.
Gutierrez is charged with sending threatening e-mails from his brother’s home in Cortez to the FBI in Washington, D.C.
