According to court papers, Timothy Courtois is being held on $50,000 cash bail. He was in York County Court Tuesday morning trying to get that bail lowered to $1,000 cash. The reason, Courtois attorney tells us that's because they are disputing the carrying concealed weapons charge against him.
According to the police report, Curtoise did have weapons in his vehicle when he was arrested by State Police on July 22nd, but the report shows they weren't concealed in any way. They were simply in the vehicle, which is legal. Police say they found more guns, ammunition, and synthetic marijuana in Courtois's home as well.
Courtois told investigators when he was arrested that he was on his way to New Hampshire to kill his former boss and that the day before he brought a loaded gun into a showing of the dark knight rises in Saco.
The judge put off ruling on Courtois's request to lower his bail pending the results of what's called a forensic exam. That exam is expected to show whether Courtois is competent to assist in his own defense and what his state of mind was when he was arrested.
