Bridgewater State University campus bomb hoax leads to arrest

A false bomb threat prompted the evacuation of a Bridgewater State University dining hall on Tuesday, leading to the arrest of a third-party food services employee who worked on campus, officials said.

 

Just before 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 3, all available university police officers were dispatched to Crimson Hall Cafe after a manager at a third-party contractor that provides dining services on campus discovered a suspicious package inside his office in the dining hall, Bridgewater State University Police Chief Glen Anderson told The Enterprise Wednesday.

 

The package, described as a medium-sized silver metal case, contained a sticky note that read “BOMB DO NOT OPEN,” according to the police report. A separate note attached to the case read “J/K student left gaming case.”
