A man is facing up to 30 years in Florida state prison after authorities say he placed two remote-controlled explosive devices in two men’s bathrooms at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino last month.
During a press conference on Thursday, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, along with the Seminole Police Department, FBI and the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of Brian Eckley.
Authorities say Eckley placed the devices inside the casino on the night of Sept. 29 and in the early morning hours of Sept. 30.
One device was found by an employee who reported it and the casino was evacuated.
The casino was evacuated again when the second device was located.
