A Maggie Valley man is behind bars facing terrorism charges. 48-year-old David Hicks is accused of going armed to the terror of the public and manufacturing and possessing weapons of mass destruction.

Police say they found all of the ingredients needed to commit a terrorist act, right inside Hicks’ home. Among them was a grenade and grenade detonators, 71 boxes of ammunition, and eight different firearms.

Detectives also found an email Hicks had recently written, saying that because of the outcome of the November election, he’d soon be leaving Maggie Valley to head for the Texas-Mexico border.

The email says he plans to help “protect our nation against illegal immigrants.” Hicks remains behind bars on $21-thousand bond.

Arms Cache Found During Traffic Stop – Dallas, Texas

Federal law enforcement officers took two Denton County prisoners into custody Tuesday after officers found about 11,000 rounds of ammunition, more than a dozen assault rifles and several other weapons, 20 ski masks and body armor in the truck they were driving on Interstate 35W near FM407.

The cache apparently was being smuggled into Mexico, according to court records. The serial numbers had been obliterated on most of the weapons, authorities said.

Victor Manuel Villalpando, 29, of Burleson and Noberto Estrada, 24, of Fort Worth, face multiple charges.

The case began about 6:25 p.m. Thursday as Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper David Farrell was patrolling on Interstate 35W. He saw a GMC Yukon near the intersection of FM407 with no front license plate, which is required by Texas law.

According to court records, Trooper Farrell stopped the vehicle. The driver, Mr. Villalpando, did not have a valid driver’s license. The trooper received permission to look inside the Yukon, but when he began searching, Mr. Villalpando ran off. The trooper detained Mr. Estrada and called for help.

With the help of a helicopter and officers from several Denton County law enforcement agencies, Mr. Villalpando was found hiding in a muddy creek bed.
