HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. — A man is facing felony charges after being accused of making a bomb threat against the Henderson County GOP headquarters.
The Hendersonville Police Department said in a news release that the party headquarters received a bomb threat Thursday morning on the organization's voicemail, prompting an evacuation.
The State Bureau of Investigation swept the building with a bomb dog and found no explosives.
The threat came just days after someone firebombed the Orange County Republican headquarters.
Authorities say they were able to trace the call back to 24-year-old Dylan J. Schacht, of Hendersonville, who was arrested and charged with one count of terrorism and one count of filing a false report concerning a destructive device.
It is unclear whether Schacht has an attorney.
