Police: Man wanting to leave work made bomb threat
A man who wanted to get off work a little early is in jail facing terroristic threat charges after calling in a bomb threat, authorities said.
Cherokee Sheriff’s Office investigators said William Miranda, of Canton, placed a call to the Pilgrim’s Pride chicken processing plant and alleged there was a bomb on the premises.
Cherokee deputies, fire department personnel and K-9 units from the Woodstock Police Department searched the facility for two hours.
Cherokee Sheriff’s Office Capt. Joe Perkins said Miranda, an employee of the plant, told co-workers he wanted to leave work early before making the bomb threat Thursday. Miranda was arrested at work Monday.
He is being held at the Cherokee jail on a $11,200 bond.

Funny! Dear Mr. Miranda: next time just call in sick. You’ll get the whole day off — and you won’t be arrested.

Just remember, this is the man, (and more like him), who is preparing the chicken you eat.

Anyone want to take bets on whether he’ll still have a job at the end of the week? I’m thinking probably not. Idiot.

I doubt he was a Mensa candidate anyway. He worked at a chicken processing plant.

he looks much smarter than that. i am surprised. if he hadn’t asked his co workers the number for 911, he wouldn’t have been caught

America needs to put this type stupid idiot to death. We are way to lenient with criminals, not referring to this clown as much as the habitual violent criminals who wreck havoc on someone’s life, go to jail for a little bit, get released and screw up someone else’s life…and so on and so on.
Put violent criminals to death after due process of law proves them guilty
