"Although he is 22, he felt it was appropriate to send this threat," the police chief said.

"Hello, I was told that someone was planning on doing a mass shooting on Sunday at the fairground. I just wanted to inform you guys already," the email said, according to Pomona police.At a press conference on Saturday, police said they took the threat very seriously, and immediately scrambled several officers and detectives, the FBI Safe Streets task force, terrorism liaison, and tactical teams to investigate.

"Although he is 22, he felt it was appropriate to send this threat. We believe it was with the intent that it would spark some chaos and commotion, it would be captured on the media, and that then he could use it as an excuse to his parents to not go to the fair."Villasenor was taken into custody and is being held on $20,000 bail. Police insist they will seek to recoup the considerable money invested in the investigation.
