DETROIT (AP) — An Upper Peninsula man charged with leaving a bomb outside a Detroit federal building in 2011 will remain in custody indefinitely for psychiatric care.
A federal judge granted the government’s request last week. Gary Mikulich is being held at a prison in North Carolina that offers mental health care.
In 2014, Mikulich, 47, was found mentally incompetent to face charges, despite forced medication. But that doesn’t mean he gets to go home to Kingsford. The government says he’s a risk to the public.
A tool bag holding an explosive was left outside the McNamara Building in Detroit in 2011. It was brought inside by a guard but stashed under a desk.
Three weeks passed before the bag was X-rayed and destroyed at an island in the Detroit River.
