LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — The man accused of wearing a mask to terrorize people in Philadelphia has been extradited from Las Vegas.
Philadelphia Municipal Court records show Zymire Hughes, 22, was being held at the city jail, Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility, as of Sept. 8.
Hughes was arrested in Las Vegas last month for two warrants out of Pennsylvania.
The U.S. Marshals Service said Hughes was wanted by Philadelphia Police for “terrorizing citizens” in the Center City neighborhood.
Police accused him of approaching multiple people while wearing a mask similar to the horror character Chucky. In one instance, he allegedly chased a jogger, asking her, “Do you want to die?”
Following his arrest, Hughes appeared before a Las Vegas judge and confirmed he would waive extradition.
Court records from Philadelphia show Hughes faces seven criminal counts, including terroristic threats with the intent to terrorize another person.
A bail review hearing is scheduled for Friday morning.
