The Florida murder suspect whose 56-hour crane standoff led to a spectacle in Atlanta last week was denied bail Monday pending an extradition hearing.
A brief hearing was held at the Fulton County Jail for Carl Edward Roland, who will appear Tuesday in Superior Court for a hearing to discuss his return to Pinellas County, Fla., where he is charged with strangling his ex-girlfriend.
Roland, 41, climbed onto a construction crane above the city’s Buckhead neighborhood Wednesday. Atlanta police subdued him with a stun gun early Saturday as he crawled toward an officer for a cup of water.
He was lowered to the ground from the 350-foot crane and taken to a hospital, where he stayed for nearly two days.
