A 28-year-old Slater man has been charged with a felony for allegedly making a terroristic threat.
According to a probable-cause statement, authorities say Joshua Robert Reeves made a post on Facebook on November 9, which contained language that he threatened to kill people. The post reportedly was made after two children were removed from his custody by the Slater Police Department and the Division of Family Services.
The arresting law-enforcement officer says in his report “I believe the defendant poses a danger to the community or to any other person because he threatened to kill members of the community, and he is already on parole for aggravated assault.”
Online court documents say Reeves has been charged with a Class D Felony for a Terrorist Threat in the First Degree. He is being held without bond and is denied bail until further order of the court.
Reeves appeared in custody by video and was arraigned on Wednesday, November 14. His cause has been continued for another hearing at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, November 28, at Saline County Circuit Court.
