Dumb Criminals: Woman Late For Court Hearing Calls In Bomb Threat
Federal prosecutors said Friday that a woman has admitted making bomb threats against courthouses in three Connecticut cities, apparently in an effort to postpone her required appearance in one of the courts on minor criminal charges.
Jennifer Chirico, 31, of West Haven pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in New Haven to maliciously conveying false information. Her calls targeted courts in Waterbury, Harford and New Haven.
According to information filed in federal court, Chirico and a friend made seven telephone calls to a variety of police agencies and court offices on March 8, claiming that bombs were planted in court buildings.
No bombs were found during searches of all sites, according to an affidavit, filed in court, by FBI bomb expert Samuel DiPasquale III.
