A Colorado "Christian patriot" musician was ordered released from a county jail after being held for over two months while a mental evaluation was performed.
Carl Klang, 50, of Boulder, Colo., pleaded guilty to one count of property destruction at a hearing Friday in Sheridan Circuit Court.
Officials said extra law enforcement was on hand at the Friday trial after the jail and Sheridan County attorney's office received hundreds of calls . . . asking why he had been kept in jail so long.
Klang was arrested Dec. 4 for disorderly conduct/provoking a fight. That charge was later dismissed, but Klang was ordered held after he tore up his jail uniform . . .
Klang was evaluated by staff members from the Wyoming State Hospital in Evanston, who found he was capable . . .
Sheridan Circuit Court Magistrate Hardy Tate said in court it was "unfortunate" Klang was held in jail so long.
Among Klang's recorded songs are: "It's Dangerous to be Right (When the Government is Wrong)," "I Want to be an Extremist," "Seventeen Little Children (Waco)," "I'm the Resister," and "Wheresoever Eagles Gather (the Ballad of Randy Weaver)."
