A Stock Island man was arrested Thursday night for
making a false bomb threat and misuse of 911.
41 year old Osmel Garcia called 911 at 6:45 p.m.
and said there was a suspicious package on 2nd Street, Stock Island.
He said he thought the package was a bomb and that he put it there. He then
told Sheriff’s communications officers the bomb exploded. As deputies responded
to the area, Garcia remained on the phone. He continued to make bizarre
statements until the deputies arrived at the scene.
Deputies Donald Stullken and Austin Hopp asked
Garcia where the reported package was. Garcia pointed to several different
locations where there was no package. Garcia was making no sense, first saying
there was a bomb and then saying there wasn’t one. Garcia admitted to drinking
alcohol that evening.
Garcia was arrested. He was charged with misuse
of 911 and with making a false bomb threat. He was booked into jail.
