Two men, Parker Whitworth and Kristopher Cloud, were indicted on charges of terrorism and planting a hoax bomb.
A bomb hoax in Parker County is believed to be the first test of new state terrorism laws.A worker at the Parker County District Court found the device outside the building in Weatherford this April.It was a locked plastic case that was spray-painted white with caution tape on it and an antenna sticking out.A bomb squad determined there was nothing dangerous in it.Video from the courthouse showed a male getting out of an SUV and placing the package outside the door.
The tipster told investigators that Whitworth had a court date scheduled for the day and was attempting to disrupt proceedings.A search of Cloud's residence found caution tape, a cap to a white spray paint can and a metal label consistent with the missing label on the hoax bomb, according to documents.The charges are felonies under an expansion of state terrorism laws that took effect last year.
