A woman from Westfield, Massachusetts, was arrested and charged on Thursday after she allegedly made a false bomb threat against the Boston Children’s Hospital.
The hospital received the threat via phone on Aug. 30, with the caller claiming that “there is a bomb on the way to the hospital, you better evacuate everybody you sickos,” according to a Sept. 15 press release by the Department of Justice (DOJ). The hospital and surrounding areas were put on lockdown and a bomb squad was dispatched. However, no explosive devices were found.
