FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Northern Colorado authorities have charged a 29-year-old with illegal possession of a high-capacity magazine, making use of a controversial law for the first time.
The Coloradoan reports (http://noconow.co/20nyxHE ) that the Larimer County District Attorney filed the charge against a Fort Collins man last week. According to court records, he was arrested after a psychologist reported he was making threats about shooting a security guard and burning down a building at Fort Range Community College.
It is the first time the time such a charge has been filed in northern Colorado since the controversial legislation was signed into law more than two years ago.
Investigators say they found an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, Glock handgun and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in the man’s car.
He was released with an ankle monitor after posting bond Saturday.
