Ford Kevin Coots was charged in a criminal complaint last week in the U.S. District Court of Western Missouri with one count of assaulting a federal officer.
The alleged assault occurred last week when FBI agents went to Coots’ home in the 700 block West Sixth Street in Urich, Mo., to serve a search warrant.
The agents were investigating bomb and shooting threats made against the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City and the Beth Shalom synagogue, both in Overland Park, and the Kol Ami synagogue in Kansas City.
They were also investigating a threat against the Ohev Shalom synagogue in Washington D.C. that appeared to originate from Missouri.
