Daycare employee Jasmine Bradley faces federal charges for making bomb threats

Authorities say a Macon woman accused of threatening to blow up daycare centers has been arrested

According to a release from the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday, Jasmine Jaquel Bradley, 26, is charged with making interstate bomb threats, threatening interstate communications and conveying false information and perpetuating a hoax against Child Care Network School on April 24.

According to U.S. Attoey G. F. Peterman III, Bradley was arrested Thursday outside of the Childcare Network, where she worked after FBI agents started investigating similar bomb threats at local daycare centers.

On April 19, Bibb County Sheriff's deputies responded to a call at Childcare Network School. Deputies say Bradley, an employee at the daycare, told police a man exited a black vehicle and threw a cardboard box over the fence and into the property. The Bibb County Sheriff's Office bomb squad later determined the box was a false threat.

On April 24th, another bomb threat was made to the daycare center using Facebook. After a thorough investigation deputies linked that Facebook account to Bradley's cell phone number.

According to the criminal complaint, Bradley is also accused of making bomb threats on social media to Bright Star Leaing Center several times throughout the month of January, telling them a bomb would go off if they opened the facility, prosecutors said.  

If Bradley is convicted, she could face up to 10 years in federal prison.
