A judge on Thursday issued a $500,000 bond for the handyman accused of intentionally causing an explosion at multiplex at Santa Fe Drive and 4th Avenue.
Todd Norman Perkins, 56, faces attempted first-degree murder charges and first-degree arson charges. The Denver Fire Department said Perkins lived in a camper on the complex property. Perkins appeared in Denver County Court Thursday at 1:30 p.m. He is being housed in the Denver Downtown Detention Center.
The judge also issued a protective order dictating that Perkins stay at least 100 yards away from certain individuals, and said in court that Perkins is an "extreme risk" to the public. The judge also prohibited Perkins from purchasing or using firearms and from drinking alcohol.
