CNN) -- A judge on Wednesday set bail at $100,000 for a man accused of carry
ing a fake bomb near a Boston crowd that was marking the first anniversary o
f the Boston Marathon bombings.
The judge also ordered the suspect, Kevin Edson, also known as Kayvon Edson,
to be seen at a state hospital that evaluates defendants' sanity after a me
ntal health professional told the judge that Edson has a history of psychiat
ric disturbances.
Police said they arrested Edson, 25, on Tuesday evening after he was found c
arrying a backpack containing a rice cooker near the Boston Marathon finish
line on Boylston Street, where survivors of the 2013 bombing were to complet
e a marathon-length walk marking the attack's anniversary.
In the 2013 attack, two pressure-cooker bombs exploded, killing three people
and wounding at least 264 others.
A barefoot Edson, carrying a backpack and wearing black clothes with a veil
and hat covering his face, screamed and yelled during Wednesday's event on B
oylston Street, drawing officers' attention, police said.
Officers found a rice cooker in the backpack, and Edson told them it was non
explosive, Assistant District Attorney Susan Terrey told Judge Michael Coyne
on Wednesday.
Authorities evacuated the area, and a bomb squad detonated the rice cooker a
s a precaution. Specialists determined the object had not been a bomb, polic
e said.
According to Terrey, Edson told police: "I knew what I was doing. It was bei
ng conceived in my head. It's symbolism. Come on. The performance got the be
st of me."
Terrey asked for the $100,000 bail, arguing that Edson had shown a willingne
ss to put his interests ahead of society's.
Edson had been hospitalized multiple times for psychiatric problems and had
been off his medications for three to four months, a mental health professio
nal told Coyne, without elaborating about the disturbances.
Defense attorney Shannon Lopez argued for a bail of $5,000, telling the judg
e that Edson needed "some assistance to stabilize himself mentally" but argu
ing that he wasn't a danger to the public, has never been convicted of a cri
me and never made a bomb threat.
Edson was charged with disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct, disturbing
a public assembly, possession or use of a hoax device, and making a false bo
mb threat. The latter charge carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison u
pon conviction, the Suffolk County district attorney's office said.
He has pleaded not guilty, CNN affiliate WHDH reported.
"If this was a performance, it was the most irresponsible, senseless, and se
lfish performance I can imagine," Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Co
nley said in a news release. "It was also criminal. It was akin to shouting
'fire' in a theater. People were put in fear, public transportation was disr
upted, and a day of somber remembrance and reflection was marred by this def
endant's choices.
"There could not have been a worse time or place for this inexcusable behavi
or."
