SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A man accused of threatening the Internal Revenue Service has been denied his request to be released from jail.
Yesterday, 51-year-old David D'Addabbo's attorney asked a judge if his client could be released from Weber County Jail. D'Addabbo has been there since Sunday when he was arrested in Hyrum.
He's charged with one count of impeding the I-R-S for statements he made in petitions with the U-S Tax Court last fall.
D'Addabbo is accused of telling the government last September that if an I-R-S employee continued to try and collect taxes from his wife, that employee would be tried by a jury and sentenced to death by a firing squad. That's according to the indictment, which also said D'Addabbo made more threats a month later.
His trial is set for May 26th.
