Man held on $1M bond for allegedly threatening healthcare company

A man in Las Vegas has been arrested and charged with making a threat or conveying false information concerning acts of terrorism after he allegedly threatened to "shoot up" the headquarters of a managed care company, according to court documents.

Stevie Adams, 35, is being held in custody awaiting trial, with a judge setting his bail at $1 million after prosecutors said he made the threat during a phone call with Molina Health last month.

According to the court, the company locked down its building after the threat and called the police. Adams was arrested Dec. 30 and told authorities that he suffers from a traumatic brain injury and sometimes experiences blackouts.

Adams said he was not seriously considering an act of violence and was simply frustrated with the service. It is unclear what his dispute with Molina was about, but Adams was receiving physical therapy and nursing services through the company.

Prosecutors claim that Adams asked for the address of Molina’s Spring Valley headquarters during the call, which led the customer service representative to believe it was a legitimate threat.

Adams has previously been charged with low-level battery and destruction of property. Police said they found a firearm on his property, but there is no indication it was illegal for him to have it, as Adams has not been charged with any gun crime. 

There is no indication in court records that he has entered a plea. His next court date is scheduled for Jan. 21.
