Dykstra maintained his innocence during a hearing at the Union County courthouse in Elizabeth on the terroristic threats charges he faces after he allegedly pointed a gun at an Uber driver and threatened to kill him in May.
The former baseball player claims the Uber driver actually kidnapped him.
Police also discovered drugs on Dykstra following his arrest.
Superior Court Judge Joseph Donohue said the case will now go before a grand jury.
Since Dykstra has two prior convictions, another conviction in this case could have him facing up to 10 years in prison.
