Authorities arrested 40-year-old Benny Caldera Jr. early Wednesday morning following reports of a credible plot to attack the Texas State Capitol. The Texas Department of Public Safety, working in coordination with the FBI and local law enforcement, took the suspect into custody around 3 a.m. to preempt a planned attack scheduled for Thursday.

A memo distributed to members of the Texas Senate indicated that the threat involved the primary suspect and several co-conspirators. Caldera is currently being held on bond as officials continue to investigate the nature of the alleged plot.
