Woman arraigned in courthouse bombing case
The woman arrested Thursday in connection with the investigation into the federal courthouse bombing on May 4 in downtown San Diego has been identified as Rachelle Lynette Carlock, 31, according to U.S. Attorney Karen P. Hewitt.
Carlock was arraigned today after being driven to federal court in El Centro - more than 100 miles from where she was arrested - on a felony complaint charging her with using a false identification document to obtain explosive materials and being a felon in possession of explosive materials.
The investigation is ongoing and no person has yet been charged with the actual bombing, the FBI said.
The government asked that Carlock remain in custody based upon risk flight and danger to the community.
Carlock was arrested shortly before 3 p.m. Thursday near 35th Street and National Avenue in San Diego by members of the San Diego FBI SWAT team.
Search warrants were also served Thursday at two San Diego residences. Six people were detained at one of the houses, in City Heights, but were released shortly afterward.
