SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A Washington man indicted on charges of placing a bomb along the planned route of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in Spokane will be arraigned in federal court.

Kevin Harpham (HAR’-pum) is scheduled to appear before U.S. Magistrate Cynthia Imbrogno on Wednesday to enter a plea.

He was indicted by a grand jury Tuesday on charges of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and unauthorized possession of an unregistered explosive device.

Harpham is from Addy, a town north of Spokane, and has extensive ties to white supremacist groups.

The bomb was found the morning of the parade on Jan. 17 and disabled before it could explode.
