Federal authorities say they found more than 100 guns at the home of a former Boeing Co. worker charged with sending bomb threats to the company as well as an Anacortes oil refinery.
A grand jury returned a 16-count indictment Thursday against 46-year-old Gino Augustus Turrella, of Des Moines, charging him with making threats and identity theft. He was arrested Tuesday at an REI parking lot.
A Boeing spokeswoman says Turrella worked as a flexible machine operator in Auburn from August 1987 to August 2005. The FBI says he had a history of making threats to managers and top executives, including sending live AK-47 ammunition cartriges to his former manager.
