Man Allegedly Threatens to Blow Up Hope Oakdale Woman’s Home

An Oakdale woman sent her child to a friend’s house for the night in February after the father allegedly threatened to crash his car into her home and kill everyone inside by blowing it up.

Ricardo Daniel Pena-Sevilla, 23, of St. Paul, faces a felony charge of making terroristic threats stemming from the Feb. 18 incident. The woman lives on Helena Road.

Pena-Sevilla has a no-contact order on file and is not supposed to contact the woman for any reason, according to the complaint. He had been calling her regarding custody of their child, she told police, and got upset and made the threats.

He also told her he would take their daughter and bring the child to Mexico, according to the complaint. She told police he is an illegal alien.

There is an open domestic assault case against Pena-Sevilla.

If convicted on the terroristic threats charge, he faces up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
