Giles County deputies arrest two county teenagers they say made terroristic threats to people on playing cards.
Investigators say 18-year olds Brian Stafford and Justin Dirico left eight threatening playing cards at the Pearisburg Wal-Mart on Saturday, August 9th. The cards read "9 people will die" and "9 people will suffer" with the date 8-15-08.
A ninth card was found on a car at the Dairy Queen on Sunday, August 10th.
Officers say the teens were caught up with "The Joker" from "The Dark Knight," and that the idea may have stemmed from the movie.
The teens are being held on terrorism-related charges at the New River Valley Regional Jail without bail.
They're expected in court on Friday, the same date of the threat.
