Hazel Park man charged, accused of threatening to shoot up store
(CBS DETROIT) - A 25-year-old Hazel Park man is charged for allegedly threatening to shoot up a computer store.
Jimmie Lee Lickman is charged with making a threat of terrorism, according to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office. Lickman appeared for an arraignment on Tuesday in the 43rd District Court and received a $50,000 cash/surety bond.
If convicted, he faces 20 years in prison.
Officials say on July 15, Lickman was inside a Troy business when he allegedly made suicidal and homicidal comments involving a Mico Center store in Madison Heights.
"Threats of violence disrupt life and the sense of safety of entire communities. I commend the individual who alerted authorities in this instance," said Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald in a statement. "My office takes these threats seriously and will work to hold this person accountable."
A probable cause conference is scheduled for July 26.
