(Amherst, MA) — An Amherst man has been arrested for allegedly threatening to bomb a local bar. Amherst Police were called to The Spoke on East Pleasant Street to investigate a report that a small propane tank had been placed near the bar’s front door. A witness identified the suspect, 22-year-old Tyron Loper of Amherst, who had apparently been ordered to stay out of the bar. Loper was arraigned Friday and will remain in custody until his next court appearance on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the incident remains under investigation.
