LEHIGHTON, Pa. — Terroristic threat charges have been filed against a man in Carbon County.
Investigators say Francis Moyer, 68, the father of homicide suspect Zak Moyer, told police last month that he had explosives inside his home in Lehighton.
A bomb squad found a device that was inert, meaning it was not a threat.
Francis Moyer's son, Zak Moyer, is locked up on homicide charges.
According to police, the younger Moyer got into a fight with Edward Whitehead Jr. and attacked him with a knife and chainsaw.
Whitehead Jr. later died.
