A local news broadcast in Michigan was delayed on Friday following a bomb threat when a 64-year-old man was reported to be on the premises with a bomb. Authorities responded with bomb squads and K-9s, searching the area while blocking off entrances. The suspect was arrested without incident and later identified as David Michael Chiesa, who was charged with making a false report of a bomb. Despite the threat, no explosives were found on the property.
Sheriff Trent Taylor stated that the investigation is ongoing, and they are looking into the circumstances surrounding the incident. He mentioned that communication with the suspect was difficult, and Chiesa was not forthcoming with information. This raises questions about the suspect’s motivations, as authorities have reported that they have no motive yet in the case: 'There is no motive and no motive at all.'
The 9&10 News crew had their broadcast schedule disrupted, as they could not resume operations until nearly three and a half hours later. Following the bomb threat call just after midnight, they were only able to regain access to their building around 3:30 a.m., resulting in the morning broadcast starting at approximately 6 a.m. This incident highlights the significant impact bomb threats can have on routine operations.
