Man taken into custody after attempting to blow up house

An incident Thursday morning has resulted in an Ephraim man being taken into custody.  Officers were dispatched to a home in Ephraim after receiving a report of a man threatening to ignite the home with gas from a stove.  When officers arrived on the scene, they discovered the man had already left in a vehicle.  After being located in Moroni, he was taken into custody without incident and transported to Sanpete Valley Hospital for a mental health evaluation.  The case will be referred to the 6th district Court for charges that may include threats of violence and illegal narcotics.
