The authorities arrested him showing that they took his social media posts seriously. He posted the $20,000 bond the following day. <\/p>\n<p>According to a local station in Las Vegas, Strauss was first arrested on July 27 at the <strong>Trump International Hotel<\/strong> for conveying false information relating to acts of terrorism. Early in the day, he reportedly attempted to lure an 8-year-old boy to his room. When the parents caught him, they immediately called the attention of the hotel manager. Strauss was sent out of the hotel, though he claimed he thought he knew the boy from his hometown. <\/p>\n<p>On the same day, Strauss was reported to Venetian police for displaying suicidal behaviour and threatening to harm anyone who would approach him. He escaped arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Strauss appeared before a court hearing on August 29, during which he was indicted for making threats of an act of terrorism by <strong>Nevada Chief District Judge Linda Bell<\/strong>. He is due back in court on September 5, facing a higher bond of $150,000.<\/p>\n<p>Still mourning over one of the deadliest mass shootings in US history, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/las-vegas-casinos-implement-12-hour-48-hour-not-disturb-policies\/\">Las Vegas won&#8217;t take any chances<\/a>.
