STRUTHERS (AP) — A 20-year-old northeast Ohio man has pleaded not guilty to threatening a Jewish community center in a video police say shows him shooting a rifle.
A judge near Youngstown set bond at $250,000 for James Reardon on Monday and ordered him to stay away from Jewish churches and organizations if he is released from jail.
New Middletown police say he posted a video on Instagram last month of himself shooting a semiautomatic rifle.
The video included sounds of sirens and screaming with the caption: “Police identified the Youngstown Jewish Family Community shooter as local white nationalist.”
Police say they found weapons and anti-Semitic information at his home.
A message seeking comment was left with his attorney.
