The Kansas Attorney General has filed terrorism charges against a man accused of barging into a state judge’s home and holding him hostage.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt filed criminal charges against Jason Linn Nichols, 33, in connection with the incident May 31 in Garden City, Ks. The charges are one count of terrorism by alternative means, one count of kidnapping, one count of aggravated burglary, two counts of aggravated assault, one count of criminal threat and one count of criminal restraint. A judge set bail at $1.3 million.

In a news release, the A.G.’s office noted that Kansas law defines terrorism to include the commission of a felony with the intent to influence government policy by intimidation or coercion or with the intent to affect the operation of any unit of government. Under Kansas law, a terrorism conviction carries a possible life prison sentence.

Nichols is scheduled for a first appearance June 15 at 1 p.m. in Finney County District Court.
