Related: About this forumMan Threatens New Mexico FBI Office With Explosive Burrito
A man angry at the federal government threatened to blow up the Albuquerque FBI field office with explosives folded into a burrito, according to authorities.
Brian DeMarco, 50, called a public access FBI number on Tuesday with the threat. DeMarco told agents that he was angry at the U.S. government for planting a tracking device into his head, in addition to beaming photons into his brain, according to a federal criminal complaint. DeMarco made the call to a West Virginia FBI office from his room at the Super 8 Motel on Iliff Road in Albuquerque.
Agents arrested DeMarco on Thursday, just as he was boarding a bus to Amarillo, Texas, at the Albuquerque Greyhound bus station.
DeMarco is facing charges of violating interstate communications laws and creating a hoax.
In addition to the burrito threat, DeMarco told agents that he had placed a timed bomb with C-4 explosives at the Albuquerque Social Security Administration building. The building was evacuated and swept for explosives. Nothing was found, according to the complaint.
