Seth “Andrea” Gregori was taken into custody after the FBI Houston was made aware of “terroristic threats” against the department, the CCPD post states.
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Corpus Christi Police Department officers and the Houston branch office of the FBI arrested a person Monday accused of planning a mass-casualty attack, according to a social-media post from the FBI Houston official X account and a CCPDBlotter.com post.
Seth “Andrea” Gregori was taken into custody after the FBI Houston was made aware of “terroristic threats” against the department, the CCPD post states. FBI Houston investigated the threats and issued an arrest warrant for Gregori.
In a social-media post Monday, FBI-Houston accused the 21-year-old of planning an attack on police similar to the 2016 attack on officers in Dallas.
FBI Houston Public Information Officer Conor Hagen said Monday the agency is not at liberty to discuss specifics of the case and referred 3NEWS to the Nueces County District Attorney’s Office, where they said charges had been filed.
He did say the agency is proud to have partnered with CCPD in making the arrest and stopping the plot.
When 3NEWS called the Nueces County District Attorney’s Office for information, they confirmed CCPD is currently investigating the case, but that no charges have been presented to their office.
“Someone has been taken into custody on a warrant but no charges have been filed and nothing has been presented to the grand jury, but there is an ongoing investigation related to this individual,” said prosecutor Sophie Moore.
First Asst. DA Mike Gordon said the office has not been in contact with FBI Houston.
“We’ve seen the same tweet,” he said.
Moore said the DA’s office couldn’t share anymore information.
