LINN COUNTY  The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) and the Linn County Sheriff’s Office are investigating a Kansas man  evening for alleged terrorism and criminal threat.

Just after 4 p.m. on Wednesday, authorities arrested Albert C. Hinds, 67, of Pleasanton at the Food Fair Super Market in Mound City, Kansas.
