Yesterday, Associate Judge Perry Inos remanded Ada, 32, to the custody of the Department of Corrections.
Ada was arrested on Monday.
“If I go to jail, you guys will see!” Ada was quoted by Detective Peter Aldan as telling his friend’s wife and in-laws over the phone on Nov. 30.
In his affidavit, Aldan said Ada called up the wife of his friend Melvin Basa, 37, to threaten her and her parents.
On Saturday night, Basa, together with Ada, went to the residence of Basa’s wife.
Basa then tried to stab his wife’s parents in an ensuing altercation, police said.
Ada joined his friend in looking for the wife, police said.
The court set a $100,000 cash bail for Basa whose previous cases included escaping from prison, burglary and sexual abuse of a child.
