Whether it should have gotten any space at all is up for debate. But sometimes, news outlets report police calls. And it seems from reading here for a bit that's what many folks crave.

Hopefully the perpetrator doesn't get the Sun because the only place they'd find it online is villages news.


Editing a paper only looks easy. Somewhat like golf.

I agree with other posters here people who call in bomb threats thrive on publicity.

We should probably post more messages about that bomb threat and discuss it endlessly. Maybe people will make more threats at the squares.

What do you all think about that?

Section C is local news. Where else would you have liked to seen it?

At least you read it.

Sorry Peachie. I mistakenly called a public phone a phone booth. In fact I am almost extinct. Will never happen again.

He is being held at the Lake County Jail.

According to the Lady Lake Police, the guy called in the bomb threat to get his girlfriend, a waitress, out of work for the day.
