SYRACUSE, N.Y. — A Fort Drum soldier who walked into a police station threatening officers with what appeared to be an assault rifle must remain in jail.

Onondaga County Judge William Walsh rejected a defense request Tuesday to have Spc. Matthew Campbell released to U.S. Army officials so he could return to Fort Drum for psychiatric treatment.

Senior Assistant District Attorney Alison Fineberg objected to the release unless the Army had a specific treatment plan set up for Campbell. Walsh agreed, ordering Campbell jailed until the Army provides more detailed information about treating him.
