Officials have new developments in a bomb scare investigation that started unfolding August 6, 2007. A federal grand jury is officially accusing a local man of making a phony bomb threat at the Wells Fargo Bank branch near Southwest Boulevard. Wednesday, a federal grand jury in Lubbock returned an indictment charging Marcus Martinez with one count of willfully making a threat on August 6th. Authorities found no bomb, but it caused a massive response from local and federal officials. If convicted, 20 year old Martinez faces a maximum statutory sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
