Kaufman County sheriff\u2019s Lt. Justin Lewis said Wednesday that Nick Morale, 56, has been arrested on a charge of making a terroristic threat. Lewis says Morale called the tip line established by authorities after the killings of District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife Cynthia and used it to threaten a specific county official. Authorities aren\u2019t identifying the official. Lewis says there\u2019s nothing to link Morale to the McLellands\u2019 deaths or the January killing of Kaufman County assistant district attorney Mark Hasse and he\u2019s not a suspect in either case. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KAUFMAN (AP) \u2013 A sheriff\u2019s official says a man has been arrested for making a threat during the investigation into the killings of a Texas prosecutor and his wife, but there is no indication he\u2019s connected to the deaths.
