CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. (CNS) — A 40-year-old man remains in custody Sunday after being arrested on suspicion of making false bomb threats to the Coachella Music & Arts Festival in Riverside County.
Cathedral City police officers responded at 10:40 a.m. Saturday to reports of a suspicious man at the Agua Caliente Casino in Cathedral City, department officials said.
Casino security informed police that a man driving a Tesla said he would be responsible for a bombing at the festival, Cathedral City police reported.
