A Cleveland man being held on more than $1.5 million bond in connection with
three murders at Cleveland State University has been charged with two other
shootings and may face the death penalty, police said.
Frank Spisak, 31, was indicted Wednesday by a Cuyahoga County grand jury on
three counts of aggravated murder, with one of the counts carrying death penalty
specifications.
Authorities have not revealed a motive for the shootings, but Spisak
reportedly told police he was working for President Reagan on a project for the
CIA.
Joseph Worthington, special agent in charge of the Cleveland Secret Service
Office, said an investigation found that Spisak had never been employed by the
CIA.
Worthington said his office was involved briefly because of Vice President
George Bush's visit to the Cleveland area Tuesday. There was no indication any
threat was ever made against Bush or Reagan.
