 SOMERVILLE, N.J. (AP) - A man accused of roughing up Nobel laureate and Holocaust scholar Elie Wiesel at a San Francisco hotel this month was denied bail Tuesday despite his lawyer's contention that the suspect needs mental help.
Judge Robert Reed denied a request to move Eric Hunt, 22, to a psychiatric or medical facility so he can continue an unspecified regimen of medication he was taking before his arrest Saturday at a behavioral health clinic.
Defense attorney James Addis said Hunt is not a flight risk or a danger to people. He did not know what Hunt was specifically being treated for at the Carrier Clinic, a psychiatric and addiction treatment center.
