Grove Police Chief Mark Morris said the pair were arrested Wednesday after an investigation by his department in cooperation with several other law enforcement agencies.

Grove Police say 18-year-old William Michael Wayne Armstrong and 22-year-old Andrew Jonathan Torres are being held on complaints of violating the Oklahoma Anti-Terrorism Act. 

Bond for each count is $10,000.

Morris says his department received a call Wednesday morning advising of a bomb at the hospital. He says the hospital was evacuated and the hospital searched.

Morris says thanks to information from a confidential informant, police were able to identify and arrest Armstrong and Torres.

In a news release, Police Chief Mark Morris says first reports indicate the bomb threats were made for no other reason other than one of the suspects wanted to get out of a day at work.

Police say Wednesday's threat is was connected to a similar threat on June 4.
