Stupid Criminal Alert: Nursing Home Employee Gets Caught Calling in Bomb Threat
Your average 7th-grader knows that when making a prank call it's best to throw your voice down an octave or two. Affter all, masking your identity is the first rule of the game.
"Um, hello. This is John...Swenson. I just wanted to know...is your refrigerator running?"
But apparently one Hoquiam, Washington, woman never opened her playbook. Otherwise she wouldn't have been recognized by a co-worker when she called in a bomb threat to the nursing home where she works.
Thankfully, Hoquiam authorities were alerted before the home had to evacuate 100 old people into the cold November air. When cops found her they issued the prank caller a citation, failing to be swayed by her oh-so-reasonable explanation: that she was just trying to test the care center's emergency response.

California Penal Code Section makes it a felony to falsely report the planting of a bomb. Whenever a bomb threat is received, it should be reported to local law enforcement immediately. In other states, the laws are similar; bomb threats should always be treated as crimes.
Why did she oly get slapped with a citation? It should be felony charges.
