During his arraignment Monday in Cleveland County District Court, Robert Lein Anderson, 38, was ordered to remain jailed until a bail hearing scheduled for 10 a.m. today.
Anderson has been jailed since Friday evening. The court charged him with one felony count of advocating unlawfulness on school grounds.
Assistant District Attorney Michael Tupper asked a judge to keep Anderson in custody because witnesses from university police wouldn't be available to appear until today.
District Court Judge Rod Ring agreed to the request.
Anderson was in jail and appeared at the arraignment via videoconferencing. He didn't have an attorney at the arraignment. Ring said he needed one by today's hearing.
April 21 is the birthday of Anderson and of OU President David Boren, according to the affidavit. On that date in 1994, Anderson stormed into the OU office of then-President Richard Van Horn.
Anderson pleaded guilty two months later to malicious injury to property and failure to leave an institution of higher learning. He got a suspended six-month jail sentence.
According to a court affidavit, Robert Lein Anderson, 38, posted fliers around the University of Oklahoma's Norman campus on March 7. Details:
•The fliers read, in part, "On April 21, 2008, all operations at OU Norman will cease. As of this date, the free university known as the Happy Nihilist University will begin,” according to the affidavit.
•The affidavit stated Anderson sent an e-mail to OU police that read, "We would like your cooperation in the transfer of power. No one needs to get hurt.”
•The flier also stated "OUPD cannot stop us” and that OU President David Boren and the media "will fail,” according to the affidavit.
•Anderson allegedly wrote similar statements on campus sidewalks April 2 about OU ceasing to exist April 21.
