SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The man charged with planting a bomb along the route of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in Spokane will be arraigned on hate crime charges.
Kevin Harpham will appear in federal court on Monday afternoon, after a grand jury added the hate crime charges.
Harpham, who has extensive ties to white supremacist groups, faces up to life in prison.
He earlier pleaded not guilty to attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and unauthorized possession of an unregistered explosive device. The bomb was found on Jan. 17 and disabled before it could explode.
