DETROIT (AP) — A judge has dismissed a terrorism-related charge against a man who is accused of spray-painted threats directed at Detroit police and Chief James Craig.
The Wayne County prosecutor’s office had charged Stuart Lewis of Detroit with making a threat of terrorism, which carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison. A judge last week dismissed the charge and ordered him to trial for malicious destruction of property.
The threats were painted in October on a west side commercial building. Lewis has said he’s innocent.
Lewis also is charged with possession with intent to deliver marijuana. He’s said that’s a setup, but the judge ordered him to trial on that charge.
