A Marshall man who is facing a felony charge for allegedly threatening to kill people on August 30, 2019, is scheduled to be in court on Monday, June 8.
According to a probable-cause statement, authorities were notified a man was threatening to shoot everyone inside Exchange Bank at 929 West Vest Street if they could not get him money from an account, which caused schools to go into secure mode. Once on the scene, officers arrested 43-year-old Douglas Frehse, who also allegedly was found to be in possession of methamphetamine when being booked at the jail.
Frehse has been charged with a Class D Felony for Possession of a Controlled Substance and a Class E Felony for Making a Terrorist Threat in the Second Degree. Bond remains at $15,000 cash or surety- 10-percent allowed.
Frehse entered a not-guilty plea on October 15 and December 23. He is due to appear for a plea/trial-setting hearing at 9 a.m. at Saline County Circuit Court.
