A transgender woman who was arrested for allegedly putting fake bombs around her trailer, is now at a mental health facility, according to KTVB, an Idaho news outlet.

Catherine Carlson was scheduled to appear in court on July 19 to face charges for placing fake bombs around her trailer, then setting her trailer and truck on fire. Carlson allegedly ran down the street naked before authorities arrested her.

Carlson plans to represent herself when she returns to court, though her new court date has not been announced.

The bomb plot episode was reportedly initiated because police used Carlson's birth name on a 2007 traffic ticket.
