The Hour reports that 22-year-old Brandon Wagshol was released Friday with conditions, including that he undergo a mental health evaluation, wear a GPS monitoring device, and check in with the probation office daily.
The Norwalk man was charged last month with four counts of illegal possession of large-capacity magazines.
Police started investigating when they received a tip that Wagshol was trying to buy large-capacity rifle magazines from out of state.
Authorities say a social media posting showed his interest in committing a mass shooting.
His attorney said his client was interested in getting closer to his father, a gun enthusiast.
