– A Lanett woman faces a felony charge for allegedly making up a fake bomb threat at a local Walmart because investigators say she was mad at her boyfriend.
“The area was cordoned off by members of the Valley Police Department and the East Alabama Fire Department. Officers conducted a visual search of the building but could not locate any devices. A second search was then conducted using explosive trained dogs from Auburn PD, Opelika PD, and the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. They also failed to locate any devices. The scene was released, and the store was reopened,” said Major Mike Reynolds.
“Valley Investigators then interviewed Adamson, who admitted she had made up the story about the bomb because she was mad at her boyfriend,” said Major Reynolds.
The boyfriend is not being charged because police say he believed Adamson when she told him of the bomb threat.
Adamson is charged with False Reporting of an Incident (Class C felony). Adamson was processed at the Valley Police Department and transported to the Chambers County Detention Facility pending a bond hearing.
