BOLIVAR, Mo. (AP) — A 35-year-old Willard man is facing a felony terrorism charge after prosecutors said he threatened to shoot one of his son’s basketball coaches at a junior varsity game between Marion C. Early High School in Morrisville and Branson High School. Police were called to Bolivar High School on Jan. 27 after witnesses said Bryan Scott Pellham threatened one of the coaches. Police said Pellham was upset that a varsity coach was coaching the junior varsity team, and threatened to kill one of the coaches. Police say during a later interview, Pellham acknowledged that he had a gun at the school. He was charged with a felony terrorism charge and released from jail on $25,000 bond.
