Working with FBI agents, detectives located and arrested Aaliyah Vargas Garcia the next day near East 18th Street and South Pacific Avenue, police said.Garcia faces a terrorism charge and was booked into the Yuma County Detention Center on a $100,000 bond, police said.At the Veterans Day parade and celebration, one attendee said the reported threat was surprising.“I don’t think we hear about it often, not here in our county,” the attendee said.Robert Porter, who has attended public events across Yuma County for years, especially on Veterans Day, called the reported threat sad. He said it did not change his decision to attend Wednesday’s celebration.“The world is so chaotic right now that you can’t just lock yourself up in your house and not go anywhere,” Porter said.Questions remain about what investigators found and which event was referenced in the message.
