Man accused of plotting war with cops faces trial in 2nd case
A man accused of planning a war with police is now facing trial for allegedly threatening a York County Prison correctional officer and smashing a prison cell window.
Howard Timothy Cofflin Jr. on Wednesday morning waived his right to a preliminary hearing on the threat case.
He is now scheduled for formal arraignment in York County Court on the charges of making terroristic threats, institutional vandalism and criminal mischief. After Cofflin waived his hearing via video from the prison, District Judge Barry Bloss Jr. scheduled his court arraignment for Feb. 17.
