AUSTIN, Texas (KEYE) - Austin police say the man who threatened a South By Southwest performance featuring The Roots Saturday nightat Fair Market did so by emailing the company promoting the show.
Trevor Weldon Ingram,26, was arrested and charged with making a terroristic threat.
According to an affidavit, Ingram emailed, "F*** u I'm gonna pant (sic) a bomb and watch everyone die" and "BOMB" from his personal GMail account.
