FLINT AIRPORT STABBING
SUSPECT WAS IN COURT THIS
MORNING WHERE A JUDGE
ORDERED HIM TO REMAIN IN
DETENTION.
LOCAL 4 DEFENDER KEVIN DIETZ
WAS IN THE COURTROOM AND
KEVIN HE APPEARS TO HAVE
MUMBLED SOMETHING IN COURT.
SAID?
>> YEAH, HE HAD A MASK OVER
HIS MOUTH FOR MEDICAL
REASONS BECAUSE YOU COULD
STILL HEAR HIM MUMBLE THE
WORDS ALLAH AKBAR THE SAME
WORDS HE SAID A WEEK OR

OFFICER IN THE NECK.
THIS IS ALSO ONE OF THE
REASONS THAT THIS IS BEING
INVESTIGATION.
>> Reporter: ACCUSED FLINT
AIRPORT ATTACKER SHOWED
LITTLE EMOTION CHAINED AT
THE WAIST, LEGS AND WRIST
AND WEARING A MASK OVER HIS
MOUTH DUE TO AN INDISCLOSED
ILLNESS.
U.S. ATTORNEYS OFFERED NO
EVIDENCE TODAY BECAUSE HE
VOLUNTEERED TO STAY LOCKED
UP AND IN TRIAL.
HIS ATTORNEY SAYING THEY
KNEW THERE WAS ZERO CHANCE
HE WOULD BE RELEASED.
CLEAR AND CONVINCING
EVIDENCE THAT HE'S NOT A
FLIGHT RISK NOR A DANGER TO
THE COMMUNITY AND THAT I
THOUGHT ALTHOUGH HIS
PERSONAL FACTORS ABSOLUTELY
LENDED THEMSELVES TO BOND,
THE NATURE OF THIS -- THE
FACT HE DOES NOT HAVE TIES
TO THE STATE OF MICHIGAN
WOULD RESULT IN A FINDING OF
DETENTION BY THE COURT.
>> Reporter: HIS ATTORNEY
KNOWS THE VIOLENT KNIFE
ATTACK AT THE FLINT AIRPORT
A POLICE OFFICER JEFF
NEVILLE WAS ON SECURITY
CAMERAS AND IS MORE THAN
ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO PREVE
IN ADDITION, HE HAS AN
DISCLOSED REASONS THAT WOULD
UPANYWAY.
>> YOU HAVE HEARD THE
REPRESENTATIONS OF YOUR
COUNCIL THAT YOU ARE CONTEND
-- CONSENDING TO DETENTION
IS THAT CORRECT?
>> YES.
>> IN THAT CASE I WILL ORDER
THAT YOU BE DETAINED PENDING
TRIAL ON THIS MATTER.
>> Reporter: NOW HE WAS
DESCRIBED AS A LONE WOLF BY
THE F.B.I. AT THE TIME OF
THE ATTACK.
USUALLY AT A DETENTION
HEARING LIKE THIS WE COULD
FIND OUT A LOT MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT THE
INVESTIGATION WHAT KIND OF
EVIDENCE THE F.B.I. MIGHT
HAVE.
BUT TODAY THE U.S. ATTORNEYS
DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING
BECAUSE HE VOLUNTEERED TO
STAY LOCKED UP.
HE WILL BE BACK IN COURT ON
JULY 5th.
