Forced medication in bomb case is suspended
MARQUETTE, Mich. (AP) -- A judge has suspended a decision to involuntarily treat a mentally ill Upper Peninsula man charged with placing a bomb outside a Detroit federal building.
Judge R. Allan Edgar said Tuesday he'll allow the case to go to a federal appeals court, which could take months. Edgar and another federal judge in Marquette had granted the government's request to give medicine to Gary Mikulich without his consent.
Mikulich is charged with leaving a tool bag with explosive components outside the McNamara Federal Building in Detroit last year. The case is filed in Detroit but the dispute over his mental health is in the Upper Peninsula because that's where the Kingsford man was arrested.
Mikulich has declined to take medicine and doesn't want it forced on him.
