Man arrested, accused of bomb threats at Bricktown hotel
A Marlow man was arrested Tuesday, accused of possessing bomb-making materials and a copy of "The Anarchist Cookbook."
Richard Paul Holt, 63, remains in the Oklahoma County jail on complaints of making a bomb threat and possession of a controlled dangerous substance, records show.
On Monday, officers were called to the Homewood Suites, 328 E Sheridan Ave., where they found "primers, assorted ammo, projectiles as well as a copy of 'The Anarchist Cookbook,' " a book that contains instructions for making explosives and other weapons, in one of the rooms, according to the police report.
Also found in the room were Pyrodex pellets, which are black powder pellets used in muzzleloaded rifles, the report states.
A witness told officers that Holt had made threats to blow things up, and said she thought he meant the hotel, the report states.
Drug-related items were also left behind in a room rented by Holt, according to a police report.
Holt was also arrested at the same hotel on March 15 after calling 911 37 times within an hour. He also tried to kick a police officer and was arrested on complaints of assault and battery on a police officer and making false 911 calls, officer Megan Morgan said.
Holt was also arrested March 7 on a complaint of possession of methamphetamine after hotel staff reported a disturbance at Hampton Inn, 300 E Sheridan Ave.
Holt remains jailed in lieu of $8,000 bail.
