MACON: United States Attorney Charles E. Peeler announces
that Jasmine Jaquel Bradley, age 27, of Macon, Georgia, was sentenced to serve
more than fifteen (15) months in prison for conveying false information and
perpetuating a hoax related to bomb threats made to a Macon-area daycare. The sentence was handed down by U.S. District
Court Judge Marc T. Treadwell on August 15, 2018.
Through her guilty plea, Ms. Bradley admitted that on April
24, 2017, she posted a bomb threat on the corporate Facebook page of the Child
Care Network School on Northside Drive in Macon, Georgia. Specifically, Ms. Bradley posted that a bomb
had been planted underground three months ago, and the center would be blown up
the next day. Ms. Bradley also admitted
to sending several other threats to Macon-area daycares which were being
investigated by law enforcement at the time of her arrest.
In addition to her more than 15 months imprisonment, Ms.
Bradley was ordered to spend two years under the supervision of the United
States Probation Office upon her release from prison.
“The actions of Ms. Bradley caused fear, panic, and
unnecessary pain to the children, parents, and staff of these daycares,” said
United States Attorney Charles E. Peeler.
“Ms. Bradley also caused the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office and federal
law enforcement to expend precious resources investigating serious threats to
life and limb that thankfully turned out to be hoaxes. Threats of these kind, whether real or false,
will be fully investigated and the perpetrators will be brought to justice on
behalf of the victims they have harmed.”
This case was investigated by the Macon Office of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant United States Attorney C. Shanelle
Booker prosecuted the case for the United States.
Questions concerning
this case should be directed to Pamela Lightsey, United States Attorney’s
Office, at (478) 752-3511.
