COLUMBUS, Ga. (WRBL) - The day after a nearly 27-hour stand-off with the Columbus Police, suspect, Bradley Harp, had his first day in court.
Harp was scheduled to appear in Recorder's Court Friday morning but waived his appearance. The probable cause hearing was still held, but there was no evidence presented.
Harp's attorney John Martin, spent time talking with prosecutors before the hearing started. Judge Julius Hunter ordered Harp held without bond and bound the case over to Superior Court.
The judge also ordered Harp to undergo both a mental and medical evaluation. Another condition when bond is set is that Harp has no contact with the victim.
According to police, Harp arrived at his girlfriend's residence where he held her at gunpoint and threatened to kill her. The victim, whose name has been concealed, was able to escape from Harp to call the police. Which led to the near 27-hour long stand-off.
