PHELAN:(VVNG.com)- Authorities announced the arrest of a Phelan teenager after making false bomb threats to Loma Linda University Medical Center and Grand Terrace High School.
According to a press release, on Tuesday, December, 8, 2015 at approximately 9:54 am, a male suspect called the Loma Linda University Medical Center and said he was “Making a bomb and the hospital better be ready.” A few minutes later, the same male suspect called Grand Terrace High School and said there was a bomb on the campus. Both bomb threats were called from the same phone number.
Sheriff Detectives later discovered that a third bomb threat was made at an apartment complex in the city of San Bernardino. The caller’s identification showed the same phone number as the other two bomb threats with the name John Davis.
The bomb threats prompted thorough searches and evacuations of all three of the locations, however no suspicious devices were ever located.
Detectives immediately began to determine where the calls originated from and through investigation, 19-year-old John Albert William Davis was found to have an address on Smoke Tree Road in Phelan. At about 8:00 pm Davis was contacted at the residence and arrested. Authorities located the phone that was used to make the bomb threats in Davis possession along with evidence to support the bomb threats he made.
Davis was transported and booked into the Central Detention Center for PC 148.1(a)- False Bomb Threats in lieu of $25,000 bail. Davis is scheduled to appear in the San Bernardino Superior court on Thursday, December 10, 2015 at 12:30 pm.
