From Times Wire Reports
A man charged with storing deadly cyanide in Chicago’s subway waived his right to a bond hearing before a federal magistrate who called him “an extreme danger to the community.”
Joseph Konopka, 25, now awaits a federal grand jury investigation into the stash of cyanide. Federal agents said they found almost a pound of sodium cyanide and four ounces of potassium cyanide in a storage room under downtown Chicago.
Konopka was a fugitive from vandalism charges in four Wisconsin counties when he was arrested Saturday.
