Escambia County Man Arrested For Terrorism
September 29, 2018
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has arrested an Escambia County man for terrorism.
Kelyton Maxwell, 32, was arrested Friday for terrorism, a charge of threat to throw, project, place or discharge any destructive device, and a charge of false reports concerning planting a bomb, explosive, or weapon of mass destruction in, or committing arson against, state-owned property, or concerning the use of firearms in a violent manner.
In May, FDLE agents began to investigate multiple telephone calls to the Escambia County Courthouse, the county’s 911 call centers and the Pensacola Police Department threatening the detonation of explosive devices inside and outside the building. A call was also received regarding a threat to conduct a mass shooting at an elementary school in Escambia County. The investigation revealed that Maxwell had placed all of the telephone threats, according to FDLE.
Maxwell was booked into the Escambia County Jail where he was being held with bond set $150,000.

Mental issues???? maybe – this rubber band was going to snap – lets focus on the criminal intent issues he can get his meds behind bars…
Let’s hope he can’t make bail! How long before he quit threatening and actually did something?
I’m guessing he is back on the street in short order.
