Man Accused of Threatening to Burn Down House Waives Hearing

A man accused of threatening to a kill a family by burning down their house has waived his preliminary hearing.

On September 13, Michael Schoonover called the family a number of times and made the threats, according to papers filed in District Judge Rich Luther's office.

Ten people, including small children, were in the house at the time Schoonover allegedly made the threats.

For those alleged incidents, he's charged with terroristic threats and harassment.

On September 9, Schoonover allegedly hit a man several times in the Walmart parking lot.

Courts papers say that he grabbed John Vanyo's hoodie, pulled it over his head and hit Vanyo 6 or 7 times, telling him that was for causing the breakup between him and his girlfriend. He then allegedly hit Vanyo 6 or 7 more times.

For that incident, he's charged with simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct.
