The man accused of making more than 400 bomb threats in three counties earlier this year was charged Monday afternoon at the Burke County magistrate’s office.

Cody Matthew Startt, 27, was charged with 253 counts of felony false bomb reports and 253 counts of felony terrorism charges, according to his arrest report. He was listed him as homeless and unemployed on the report .

From May through July of 2016, more than 400 bomb threats, all of which were all determined to be hoaxes, were called into businesses and agencies in Burke, Catawba and Caldwell counties. Law enforcement agencies within th o se jurisdictions work ed together as part of a large scale investigation to identify and determine the source of the threats, said a previous News Herald article. This investigation led to Startt as the source of the bomb threats.

He was arrested in Matoaka, West Virginia , on July 6 by the Hickory Police Department, the FBI and West Virginia State Police on probation violations related to his prior convictions. Startt was convicted in October 2015 on three counts of making false bomb threats in May 2015 in Hickory, the article said.
