Authorities charge 17-year-old from Texas with making terroristic threat after he allegedly posted on Snapchat about blowing up plane before flying from Houston to Guatemala.
Authorities have charged a 17-year-old from Texas with making a terroristic threat after he allegedly posted on Snapchat about blowing up a plane before flying from Houston to Guatemala.
The threats were only discovered after Snapchat discovered the photos and tipped off the FBI National Threat Operations Center, the documents show. Snapchat provided GPS coordinates for many of Fonseca's previous posts in Humble, Texas, and FBI agents went to the location on Aug. 4, where they were directed to a friend of Fonseca. The friend, in the presence of his parents, even said he knew the reason the agents came to his home was due to Fonseca's threatening posts, the charging document describes.
Fonseca returned from Guatemala on Aug. 10, according to the documents. He was arrested and charged with the third-degree felony of making a terroristic threat after he returned home.
