CASS COUNTY, Mich. – A man has been charged for making a bomb threat at the Cass County Courthouse last month.

Patrick Kyle McMeeken was charged Friday with False Report or Threat of Terrorism, Conspiracy to Commit Obstruction of Justice and Using a Computer to Commit a Crime. He is also charged as being a Habitual Offender.

The Cass County Sheriff reported that on Friday, June 21, two 911 calls were made at about 8:45 a.m. saying a bomb had been placed in the courthouse and it would go off when a timer expired. The building was evacuated and searched, but no devices were found.
