Topeka ? Police have arrested a Columbia, Mo., man suspected of phoning in a threat to the Kansas governor’s office from a motel in Topeka.

Capitol Police spokesman Patrick Saleh said the 37-year-old man was being held in the local jail after his arrest on suspicion of harassment by telephone.

Authorities said the man phoned Gov. Sam Brownback’s office Wednesday morning. Saleh said the man’s remarks were threatening enough that the office contacted police, and the man was arrested within minutes of making the call.

Saleh said the man has no permanent address but his last known home was Columbia, Mo.

Authorities say the incident was not connected with another one in which several homemade bombs were found in a suspicious pickup in a parking lot near the Statehouse.
