Zachary Aaron Kidd, 36, was granted release from jail on Wednesday to receive treatment at an inpatient facility.
Kidd was arrested and booked into jail on Feb. 1 after notifying police of an âactive bomb threatâ at the 1st District Courthouse. He was charged with a single count of second-degree threat of terrorism; by the letter of the law, he could face 1-15 years in the Utah State Prison if convicted.
During his appearance in 1st District Court, defense counsel told the court Kidd had a spot available at a treatment facility. Due to COVID-19 restrictions at the facility, attorney Herm Olsen told the court Kidd would have to stay at a hotel for a week before being admitted.
