Forty-three-year-old Jan Malina had been charged with felony terrorizing following the Sept. 6 incident in which he allegedly disrupted a service at St. Michael’s Traditional Roman Catholic Church before being tackled by parishioners. Police say they found weapons, thousands of rounds of ammunition, gas masks and anti-government literature in Malina’s truck.
The terrorizing charge has been reduced to criminal mischief and disorderly conduct, two misdemeanors. Morton County State’s Attorney Allen Koppy says investigators did not turn up evidence that backed the terrorizing charge.
