SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A state senator confirms that he was the target of a threat that led to the arrest of a Santa Clara man and the confiscation of explosive materials and a loaded handgun. Forty-five-year-old Everett Basham was being held without bail yesterday in Santa Clara County Jail on suspicion of threatening a public official and possessing a concealed firearm. It was not clear if he had retained an attorney. Adam Keigwin, a spokesman for Democratic Sen. Leland Yee of San Francisco, says Yee received the threat and passed it on to the CHP. He says Yee isn't commenting because of the ongoing investigation.
