Man Pleads Guilty to Bomb Threat

TEXARKANA — A Texarkana, Texas man has pleaded guilty in connection with a bomb threat. Darryl Love, 49, pleaded guilty to false information and hoaxes Wednesday before U.S. District Judge David J. Folsom. He faces up to 5 years in federal prison. A sentencing date has not been set.

Federal prosecutors say on last November, Love placed a call to 911 from his room at the Shamrock Motel in Texarkana around 7:15am. He told the 911 operator that a bomb was set to explode at 10:00 am in the United States Post Office Building located at 500 Stateline Avenue on the Texarkana, Texas/Texarkana, AK, state line. Love also told the operator that he had placed the bomb on the second floor of the building the day before. As a result of the call, the building had to be evacuated and there was a disruption of public, governmental, and business functions or services. After a full sweep of the building by the Department of Defense, no explosives were found.
