An ex-Marine remains in custody on $1 million bail after he allegedly threatened to commit \u201cmass violence\u201d on the Las Vegas Strip<\/a>. The planned attack was to take place at the Fashion Show mall, police revealed this week.<\/p>\n

The suspect, Jeremy Schumacher, 41, now faces a charge of making a false threat regarding an act of terrorism. He was in custody at Clark County Detention Center as of Friday morning, according to jail records.<\/p>\n

When Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) officers heard of his plans, they quickly apprehended him and searched his apartment-style condo on Las Vegas Boulevard. Investigators discovered many firearms and what police described as \u201cmilitary-style explosives,\u201d KLAS<\/em>, a local TV station, reported.<\/p>\n

\n

Among the items found were an AR-15 rifle, and \u201ca massive cache\u201d of armor-piercing bullets, as well as a grenade launcher, a police report said. Also found were flash bangs and smoke generators, the Las Vegas Sun<\/em> reported. Also at the residence were two high-capacity, drum-style rifle magazines and 11 Thunder Blank Distracts, KSNV<\/em>, another local TV station, reported. They are simulated grenades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The bullets at the apartment were polymer-tipped, Metro police told the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. That makes them more capable of piercing body armor, the report said.<\/p>\n

Fashion Show Mall Was Target<\/h2>\n

The investigation began on Monday when an unnamed tipster, believed to be Schumacher’s 26-year-old ex-girlfriend, called Metro police, the Sun<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

The caller said Schumacher had called her on Monday and threatened to \u201ccarry out an act of mass violence\u201d at the Fashion Show mall<\/a>, cops revealed.<\/p>\n

It appears the mall was targeted because Schumacher\u2019s ex-girlfriend works there. He planned to injure her and other employees, then commit suicide, police claim.<\/p>\n

He planned to \u201cshoot up\u201d the business where she works, and also sent her threatening text messages, the Sun <\/em>said. One apparently directed at the ex-girlfriend warned, \u201cI’m coming for you,\u201d TV station KSNV<\/em> reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The caller also revealed Schumacher had alleged suicidal tendencies while abusing alcohol and drugs, KSNV<\/em> said.<\/p>\n

Schumacher was arrested later on Monday and appeared in court where Judge Elana Lee Graham set his bail at $1 million.<\/p>\n

\n

As police searched Schumacher\u2019s apartment, officers realized it had a direct view of the Fremont Street area, the report said. That is downtown Las Vegas\u2019 gambling and entertainment destination, with a large number of pedestrians.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As police checked Schumacher\u2019s background, they found he had prior arrests for firearm possession and once threatened to kill someone, KSNV <\/em>said.<\/p>\n

If he’s able to post bond, the judge ordered him to stay away from the Fashion Show mall. It’s unclear if other charges may be brought against Schumacher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
