South Bay man accused of threatening to shoot up Jewish community center
A South Bay man who previously served prison time after failing to complete a court-ordered anti-bias program has been ordered to stand trial on felony hate crime charges for allegedly threatening to shoot up a Jewish community center where hundreds of children were present, prosecutors announced Wednesday.
Paul Dean Andrews, 43, of Lomita pleaded not guilty to one felony count each of violation of civil rights as a hate crime, making criminal threats to a school and attempted criminal threats, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. The case was filed Aug. 18.
Prosecutors allege Andrews called the Jewish Community Center in Redondo Beach on Aug. 11 and made antisemitic statements.
