The man accused of stabbing a Palazzo security guard has made his first court appearance.
Las Vegas police arrested Joseph Espinoza, 34, near The Mirage after the incident.
In 2015 he tried to stab a security guard at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
Deputy Public Defender Michael Wilfong said Espinoza has a history of mental illness.
In the new case, he faces charges of attempted murder and battery with a deadly weapon.
The injured guard is expected to survive.
Justice of the Peace Pro Tem Holly Stoberski ruled that he will be held on $100,000 bail.
“Maybe my parents can bail me out,” Espinoza said.
A preliminary hearing is slated for Aug. 28.
