AKRON, Ohio - The case against the last of five bridge bomb-plotting suspects in Brecksville is headed back to court.

No bomb went off and no one was hurt.

Four defendants have pleaded guilty, but the case against Joshua Stafford of Cleveland has been delayed by a psychiatric review.

A judge in Akron federal court wants legal briefs on the psychiatric issue from both sides by Feb. 15. A hearing could come later.

The target was a highway bridge over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park between Cleveland and Akron.

The FBI has said the public was never in danger and the device was a dud provided by an informant.
