Transient Man Arrested in Farson For Trying to Mail a Fake Bomb

A 63 year old transient man identified as Nicholas Lynn Hoffman Yager has been arrested after he tried to mail a suspicious package from the Farson Post Office to a number of top federal officials. Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says that the arrest took place on June 13th.






Hoffman Yager was located in the bathroom at Mitch’s CafĂ© where he was changing clothes.  When the officers told him to come out of the bathroom, he began yelling obscenities, causing a disturbance.






The package was classified as an intentionally-manufactured hoax device that contained no explosives and no one was injured. A federal official met with the Bomb Squad last Thursday, and Hoffman Yager remains in custody at the Sweetwater County Detention Center, charged with Breach of Peace, as the investigation continues.
