Man Arrested On Terrorism Charges

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.
