Kevin "Kayvon" Edson had a court appearance Wednesday on charges of threatening battery, possession of a hoax explosive device, threats to commit a crime, disturbing the peace, disturbing a public assembly and disorderly conduct.
He was sent to Bridgewater State Hospital and held on $100,000 bail. His lawyer did not comment outside of court.
The 25-year-old was stopped late Tuesday after passers-by told an officer they saw him yelling, walking barefoot down the middle of a street, veiled in black, in pouring rain. The backpack was destroyed.
His mother says he has bipolar disorder.
