Man Indicted for Making Car Bomb Threat at Nuclear Plant

Dothan, AL – Federal authorities say a Houston County man is under federal indictment for threatening to drive a car bomb into Farley Nuclear Plant.

43-year-old Paul Vincze of Cottonwood allegedly made the threat and another by telephone on February 18th after security guards would not allow him to visit his ex-wife, who is employed at the facility.

The indictment charges Vincze with false information and hoaxes. He also faces a state charge of making terrorist threats. Vincze has remained in custody since his arrest February 19th.

The indictment was returned in mid-March. The Farley plant is on the Chattahoochee River near Dothan.
