(KNZA)--Alleged threats to burn down a residence, including what was an alleged attempt to do just that by using a Molotov cocktail incendiary device, led to the arrest Friday of a Robinson man.
Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill said 31-year-old Nicholas Juarez was charged Monday in a six-count criminal complaint with felony counts of criminal use of an explosive, attempted aggravated arson, two counts of criminal threat, possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
A release from Brown County Sheriff John Merchant Monday said Juarez was taken into custody following “an extensive investigation” by the Sheriff’s Office, which included the execution of two search warrants. That led to the discovery of what the release calls “items consistent with methamphetamine and construction of a Molotov cocktail.”
The Sheriff’s Office probe began after Deputies were called early Friday morning to a Brown County location, following a report that Juarez threatened to burn down a home, while in possession of a Molotov cocktail, with the residents telling investigators Juarez had lit the device, and threw it at their trailer.
Juarez remains in the Brown County Jail, held on a $85,000 bond.
