| A 19-year-old Louisiana State University student was being held on $1 million bond, accused of planning an attack against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.
State District Judge Mike Erwin set bond after Richard Ryan Wargo of Shreveport was booked with terrorising, communicating false information of planned arson and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Clinton, a New York senator, is scheduled to be in Baton Rouge to speak at the National Conference of Black Mayors.
Police said it was unclear whether Wargo was planning to carry out the alleged attack at that time.
Wargo is listed on LSU's website as a physics major.
Committing arson
LSU Police Chief Ricky Adams said Wargo asked another student if he wanted to join him in committing arson, a ''terrorist act'' that he described as a ''national event.''
''He allegedly went on to say it was political and it involved Hillary Clinton,'' Adams said.
The classmate later learned Clinton had scheduled a Baton Rouge appearance.
Police said the student reported Wargo to the university after a second conversation, in which Wargo allegedly made a second remark indicating he planned violence against Clinton.
That remark ''was something along the lines of, 'Have you ever heard of a dead president?''' Adams said.
Police arrested Wargo in a traffic stop on Thursday
night.
