The Steuben County man accused of making threats against Muslim congresswoman, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), was released from custody.
Patrick Carlineo was released from custody Friday in a decision by U.S. Magistrate Judge Marian W. Payson. The conditions of his release include home detention with electronic monitoring and a mental health assessment and treatment.
The 55-year-old Addison man was charged with threatening to assault and murder a United States official, the U.S. Attorney’s office reports.
Carlineo had several firearms in his home. Members of law enforcement executed a search warrant on April 5 and confiscated six weapons including a loaded shotgun.
He set to be due back in court on June 7.
