NORRISTOWN — A Worcester man accused of emailing threats to and firing gunshots at the Montgomery County Democratic Committee headquarters in Norristown will be prosecuted on charges in federal court. Anthony F. Nero, 48, of the 2600 block of Bean Road, was taken into custody by federal agents on Wednesday when he showed up for what was supposed to be his preliminary hearing on terrorism-related charges filed against him last month by county authorities, according to his lawyer, Timothy Woodward. “Ten minutes before the scheduled preliminary hearing I arrived and saw approximately six FBI agents whisking him (Nero) away and I was told they were filing federal terrorism charges,” said Woodward, recalling the events that unfolded about 9:20 a.m. outside the office of District Court Judge Margaret Hunsicker in Norristown.
