A 22-year-old woman who neglected to tell her parents that she’d dropped out of university did what many of us would do in that situation - she panicked!
Then, she called in two bomb threats on Sunday to try and cancel the university’s commencement ceremonies, according to Associated Press.
Danielle Shea had not been in attendance for the whole year, but her mother had been tranferring thousands of dollars to fund her education.
About 20 minutes before the ceremony was about to start , police say Shea called the university’s public safety department to report a “bomb in the library.” Then she called again to say, “Several bombs are on campus,” adding, “You haven’t cleared out graduation. That’s not a good idea.”
Police soon managed to trace the calls back to Shea, who has been charged with first degree threatening and falsely reporting an incident. She is being held on $20,000 bond and is scheduled for a May 30 court appearance.
The university’s College of Arts and Sciences commencement ceremony was delayed for an hour and a half as a result of the bomb threats.
