A media release said a U.S. Magistrate judge found probable cause to support a criminal complaint charging 51-year-old Larry Todd Hoffmeister with assaulting federal officers.
Hoffmeister was released pending trial under pretrial supervision and other conditions of release.
Hoffmeister was arrested April 12th and charged by a criminal complaint with resisting and assaulting federal officers.
The complaint alleges Hoffmeister discharged his weapon twice while U.S. Border Patrol agents were observing him near the stockyards on the west side of the Columbus port of entry.
No one was injured in the incident.
