On Saturday, April 11, 2009, at approximately 5 p.m., members of the Missouri State Highway Patrol arrested Robyn R. Nalley, 41, of Hannibal, Missouri, for felony making a terrorist threat. The arrest was made after Nalley contacted a Hannibal school official advising of her plans to deploy a bomb at a benefit to raise scholarship funds being held at the Hannibal American Legion Hall on April 11, 2009.
