A bomb scare jolted shoppers at Marc's on E. Waterloo Road when a woman left a purse with a cryptic warning. The Springfield Township Police Department responded to the incident following reports that a woman had dropped a purse and told a customer, "You better watch out, it might explode." This incident led to the immediate evacuation of the store and surrounding businesses in the plaza, as detailed in a social media post by the department.

While investigating the matter, Officer Dan Beitzel observed a woman walking nearby who matched the suspect's description. Eventually, the Summit County Bomb Squad was brought in to investigate the package, but fortunately, no explosives were found. According to the police department, the officers Jon McKenzie and Jordan McLean were the ones who located and apprehended the suspect without further incident, who was out for a stroll. The woman, identified as 52-year-old Christina Miller, a local resident of Springfield Township, was charged with Inducing Panic and Making False Alarms, both being fifth-degree felonies.

Miller's arrest was announced on the department's social media, alongside a note of thanks to the bomb squad for their prompt assistance. The individual in question was taken to the Summit County Jail. In recounting the incident, the police stressed, "The safety of our community remains our top priority."

If it is not immediately apparent where this happened like state or even country, it is kind of frustrating.

“Inducing Panic” is a real crime?

How about “Attempting to Induce Panic”...??

And if “Conspiracy To Induce Panic” is a crime pretty much the entire MSM would be doing time in Graybar Hotel!

If you can’t add one sentence to identify the location, don’t bother posting.

The mainscummedia wouldn’t get in any trouble or jail because they would never report on it so the public would never hear that it happened...🤪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
