A Chicago man who told police he wanted to “take over†and “destroy all casinos†remained in custody in Kane County on nearly a million dollar bail that was set for charges of “felony disorderly conduct†on Friday in connection with alleged threats to bomb the Hollywood Casino in Aurora, Illinois on Feb. 12.

A recently released affidavit and search warrant claimed that 30-year-old Musatdin M. Muadinov, while detained by police on Feb. 12, vowed to “pray to Allah†to “destroy the casino.†He further demanded to meet with President Donald Trump, saying that if his demands were not met, “we would all meet Allah,†according to the affidavit obtained by the Daily Herald.
At another point, he told police he did not want to hurt anyone. The suspect was reported to be delivering a message from Allah and to believe that gambling is a sin, according to the Herald.
Muadinov — who was dressed in what police described as “Muslim attire†when arrested — waived his right to remain silent.
