Just before noon on Tuesday, police were called to a Las Vegas business by a person who told officers DeSavio had stalked them for about a decade, officers said. DeSavio, 33, later arrived at the business where cops arrested him, according to documents obtained by Nexstar's KLAS Wednesday.
Police said that DeSavio had been adjudicated for prior stalking and harassment cases. They did not reveal whether the 33-year-old actually had access to weapons, although after his arrest, police said they were aware of the threat.
DeSavio was ordered to complete a competence evaluation by a judge in November and awaited treatment for 78 days - something his public defender said violated his due process rights.
Judge Christy Craig concluded in March that the state failed to transport DeSavio to to behavioral health treatment in a timely manner.
After then being remanded in custody for eight days, the judge dismissed the charges and he was released in April.
He faces charges of stalking, making a false threat regarding an act of terrorism, aggravated stalking and violating a temporary protection order for the threats made Tuesday.
