Story out of Provo, Utah:
A former UTEP basketball player once considered one of the most promising young coaches in the nation was arrested Monday after allegedly threatening to blow up an elementary school in Utah.
Chris Craig, 35, who has struggled with mental illness, sent a rambling email to the El Paso Times before the incident began and in the email threatened to take explosives to Eagle Valley Elementary School in the town of Eagle Mountain, about 30 miles west of Provo, Utah.
The school was evacuated during the incident, which took place after a weekend of terrorist activity in Minnesota, New York and New Jersey.
Craig, who was wearing a light-green tunic and a ski mask, surrendered after telling negotiators that he wanted to share a message, Utah officials said.
He was arrested on a felony charge of threat of terrorism and misdemeanor charges of interference with an arresting officer, failure to disclose identity, disruption of operation of a school and disorderly conduct. Cont.
