Thursday, November 26th 2020



SAN ANTONIO – A man has been arrested for allegedly sending multiple emails threatening a local church, using political, racial and religious themes.

William Edward Bender, 55, allegedly began sending these emails to the Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit & Kids of the Kingdom Episcopal School this past June.

An email from Nov. 8 allegedly details an interaction Bender had with another person, asking if “it was time to start killing people.”

Bender also allegedly wrote “I’m going to let those Democrats live for a while longer,” in the email, according to court records.
