Arizona man extradited to Carson City; charged with threats of terrorism to Nevada governor
An Arizona man was extradited to Carson City jail this morning on a warrant that alleges he made threats of terrorism to Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons.
Douglas Raymond Hoffman, 63 of Goodyear, Ariz., arrived in Carson City about about 2 this morning. He faces charges of making threats or conveying false information concerning acts of terrorism, weapons of mass destruction with lethal agents or toxins.
Hoffman is being held without bail.
On March 19, 2010 the Goodyear Police Department arrested Douglas Hoffman on the Nevada warrant without incident.
An arrest warrant provided by the public safety department said Hoffman’s fingerprints were on two letters sent to Gibbons, and threatened militia action if immediate changes weren’t made to a neighborhood outside Las Vegas where he was convicted in 2007 of destroying 546 trees in a retirement community, according to the Associated Press.
According to the arrest report, the U.S. Extraditions gave Carson City Sheriff's Office a copy of a Governors Warrant signed by Janice Brewer, the governor of Arizona on May 13. The warrant listed the charge, making threats or conveying false information conveying acts of terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, lethal agents or toxins. The Sheriff's Office was also given paperwork that showed Rebecca Morrison from the Nevada Department of Public Safety Investigation Division requested that Hoffman be brought to the Carson City jail, according to the arrest report.
