Spokane Police are pulling out the stops to make sure this year's Martin Luther King Jr. Unity March is safe for the large crowd expected at the event.
The word spread like wildfire in the small town of Kettle Falls near the Canadian border Wednesday that Kevin Harpham, a former resident who still has family in the area, had been arrested for the attempted bombing of the Jan. 17 Unity March in Spokane.
Kevin Harpham, the man arrested early Wednesday morning by the FBI near his Stevens County home, made his first appearance in federal court on charges that he attempted to use a weapon of mass destruction in downtown Spokane on Jan. 17.
Stevens County resident Kevin Coy?s morning started out anything but normal, with FBI agents posing as a road crew as they staked out his neighbor, and ended with the arrest of that neighbor, Kevin Harpham, as he left his home.
