(KTNC) - An Ohio man has been charged in the investigation into dozens of bomb threats made to courthouses in Nebraska and four other states last year.
The FBI arrested 39-year-old Lonny Bristow of Mansfield, Ohio, last Wednesday. He made an initial court appearance in federal court in Cleveland last Thursday and waived a bond hearing. He was initially charged with a single count of making a bomb threat by phone.
At least nine courthouses in Nebraska received bomb threats over a period of several weeks late last year. That included courthouses in Richardson, Otoe, Johnson, Gage, Lancaster, Cass, Saline, Jefferson, and Seward Counties.
There was no indication of a possible motive. Reports say some of the bomb threats were made with pre-paid calling cards that were purchased at an Ohio Wal-Mart, which eventually led agents to Bristow.
