A woman in Maine was arrested after she made bomb threats to her boyfriend's workplace so she could spend more time with him, the Portland Press Herald reported, citing the police.
The woman, identified as Kayla Blake, 33, made the threats to Puritan Medical Products last Thursday, the police said.
According to the Press Herald, Pittsfield Police Chief Harold Bickmore said there were two separate threats: One at 9 a.m., when a woman called the Maine State Police saying she was going to put a bomb at the plant, and another around two hours later, when the caller said she was going to put four bombs near the plant.
Bickmore said the police traced the call to the town of Etna, where Blake lives, and found her by interviewing people in the area.
Blake then confessed and said she didn't have any bombs, Bickmore said, the Press Herald reported.
Blake was charged with a felony count of terrorizing and taken to Somerset County Jail, where her set bail was set at $1,500, the Press Herald reported.
