The Mercer County man accused of threatening to murder FBI agents on Gab last week emerged from his house with an assault weapon in his hands when the FBI arrived Friday night, an agent testified Thursday, but ultimately dropped the gun after commands to put it down.
At a federal detention hearing for Adam Bies on Thursday, prosecutors presented that testimony and other evidence of potential violence, including the presence of 12 other guns in the house, to show that Mr. Bies is a danger to the community and should be locked up pending trial.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisa Pupo Lenihan agreed.
"Threatening to shoot the FBI is a threat to the community," she said. "I will grant the government's request for detention."
In commenting on Mr. Bies' emergence from the house with a rifle while FBI and state police SWAT teams waited outside, she said "thank God" Mr. Bies put the gun down or there could have been a deadly shootout.
The judge noted that Mr. Bies is accused of making a series of violent threats online over three days as well as sending texts to his girlfriend on the day of the arrest indicating that he wanted to shoot IRS and FBI agents.
Mr. Bies was indicted Tuesday on 14 counts related to seven vile online death threats against the FBI he made on Gab in response to the bureau's search of Donald Trump's Florida estate on Aug. 8.
Agent Gregg Frankhouser testified that agents and police arrived at Mr. Bies' house at 11 p.m. Friday with lights and sirens, then called him on his cellphone 16 times while repeatedly asking him on their public address system to come out.

Ray Epps’ cousin? Clownshow fake flag.
Ergo....guns “cause” violence? 🤔😲
“If you blame the tool, you are a tool!”
They show up at your house with guns — not a threat.
You show up at your house with guns — that’s a threat.
Where did they dig this guy up??
Maybe Pence knows 🤔

Oh crap, a Judge 2 last names.....this guy may never see the light of day.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Pre-Crime unit is alive and well!
Minority report, thought police.

Wow...the guy had a machine gun! /sarc
I bet.
Even so, the Mercer Guy has just brought his former life to an end. His new life will be spent in and out of courtrooms and jail cells.
There are less drastic ways to change one's life that offer considerably better chances for improvements. And it is always better to "avoid Imperial entanglements".
Member when Schumer threatened Kavanagh and Supreme Court? Member? Member?
relatively speaking of course.
I am in the same county
Posted some BS online, but never left his house to act on anything?
Uh I’ve seen reports of these kinds of threats made against CA state employees...
Law Enforcement never seems to consider the threats credible or actionable, and just admonishes the individuals.
The FBI needs to be put into conservatorship and ultimately disbanded.
This guy will find one jury member to nullify the Gubment’s case.
“other evidence of potential violence, including the presence of 12 other guns in the house”
instant give-away that the author is an idiot.
i know people that have 5x that many handguns alone. Doesn’t make them more or less violent. In fact, all it tells you is that they like guns.
Is it wrong that I don’t believe a single thing from the lying thugs of tye FBI or this judge? Even if the judge is honest the FBI has a proven track record of lying to judges to continue their gastapo ways.
ONLY 12 guns???
Not ready for the push back, was he?
