Suspect tied to credible threat of Texas Capitol attack arrested

The FBI on Wednesday arrested a San Antonio-area man on federal charges for allegedly planning an attack at the Texas Capitol on Thursday after he was arrested on similar state charges by the Department of Public Safety earlier that day, the agency said.

Benny Caldera, a 40-year-old Converse resident, was arrested at 3 a.m. Wednesday by DPS, booked into Bexar County Jail and charged with a felony for a terroristic threat against a public agent. He was then promptly re-arrested by the FBI on additional federal charges and transferred into federal custody, DPS said.
