A lawyer for the man accused of threatening to "shoot up" the Fox River Mall argued there's no evidence he was ever at the mall and the case should be thrown out during court proceedings Tuesday.

Christopher Hawkins, 28, appeared in Outagamie County Court on a charge of making terrorist threats with a dangerous weapon.

Hawkins is accused of threatening to shoot inside the Fox River Mall after a fight with his on-and-off again girlfriend in late December. After fleeing the area, he was arrested in Minnesota.

Hawkin's attorney tried to call his on-and-off again girlfriend to the stand during Tuesday's court proceedings, but the court overruled her testifying.

The court did find probable cause against Hawkins and set a $25,000 cash bond.

Hawkins will be back in court for his arraignment on February 13th.
