A 40-year-old man accused of threatening to attack the Texas Capitol was taken into federal custody Wednesday, Sept. 30, after posting bond on a state charge, authorities said. Texas Department of Public Safety officials said they received a tip Tuesday evening about a planned violent attack in Austin for Thursday, Oct. 1. SWAT officers arrested Benny Caldera Jr. at a home in Converse, near San Antonio, around 3 a.m. Wednesday. A court affidavit says a concerned resident reported that Caldera had said he planned to go to the Capitol and shoot it up. The affidavit also alleges he expressed anger toward the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and made a violent statement about its members. The allegations have not been proven in court. Caldera was initially jailed on a $75,000 bond, which he posted Wednesday morning, according to Bexar County court records. The FBI arrested him at the jail that evening, and DPS said he was transferred to federal custody, where he would remain. The state agency said he could face additional federal charges. A court-appointed attorney listed for Caldera could not immediately be reached for comment. During a search of Caldera’s home, DPS investigators reported finding a .357 revolver loaded with six rounds, a 12-gauge shotgun and six 9mm rounds. Federal prosecutors said the revolver’s serial number appeared to have been filed off, an offense that can carry a prison sentence of up to five years if Caldera is convicted. The arrest prompted added security at the Capitol, according to a notice from Texas Senate Secretary Patsy Spaw. The building remained open during its regular hours. Gov. Greg Abbott said the FBI assisted DPS with the arrest and declared that Texas would not tolerate threats against the Capitol. DPS said Caldera’s state bond conditions included house arrest with GPS monitoring and a ban on possessing guns. He could face a felony charge of making a terroristic threat against a public servant, the agency said.
