A lawyer for a Texas paramedic arrested on charges of possessing bomb-making material says his client will plead not guilty and had no connection to the fertilizer plant explosion that killed 14 people last month.
Waco attorney Jonathan Sibley said in a prepared statement Saturday that his client, Bryce Reed anxiously awaits his next court appearance Wednesday, which will include a detention hearing.
Authorities arrested Reed on Friday, but stressed that he has not been linked to the April 17 explosion in West.
The statement said Reed remained "heartbroken" about the explosion, in which he lost friends, and wants to continue to help his community rebuild.

A janitor has been found guilty of hiding a video camera in the girls' bathroom of an Orange County elementary school.
A jury found 25-year-old Angel Rojas guilty Thursday of misdemeanor counts of secret filming and child annoyance.
He could get 18 months in jail and a $6,000 fine at his Tuesday sentencing, and will have to register as a sex offender for life.
In July 2012, Rojas was working as a summer janitor at a Santa Ana grade school.
Prosecutors say he closed several campus restrooms to direct women and girls to one where he had hidden an iPod Nano with a video recorder.
