September 4, 2007 - At app 10 am, John returned to the Syracuse Federal Building with chalk. He wrote on the ground, "I Love you Dom" (Domenic is his son) & "Sen. Clinton Help Us!" in about three different locations. He was taken into custody and was arraigned by US Magistrate Judge DiBianco. The Judge asked him to sign a conditional release form stating he wouldn't come back to the building. John would not sign. He is currently being held at the Jamesville Correctional Facility near Syracuse. John hasn't been told how long he'll be there, but he had been told earlier that the maximum sentence is 15 days for each offense.

September 7, 2007- After being held for three days in jail. John was taken to Federal Court for another appearance in front of US Magistrate DiBianco. He again stated his reasons for refusing to sign a 'conditional release.' The Judge then signed another Order directing John stay away from the Federal Building grounds without prior mission of the Court. He told John that if he violated that order he could be found in Contempt of Court and be given a six month jail sentence. A trial data of October 3rd or 4th was set for the pending two incidents and it was also determined that John did not quality for assigned counsel. John was happy to be released and to be able to go home.
