AMERICAN FORK, Utah (AP) - A Utah man accused of telling officials at his daughter’s elementary school to evacuate the building because he had explosives in his vehicle parked outside has been ordered to spend another two months in jail and then complete five years of probation.
The Daily Herald reports (https://bit.ly/2sBctOo ) 35-year-old Christopher Craig has already spent more than nine months in jail, but will be behind bars for two more after a ruling Tuesday.
Authorities did not find any explosives in Craig’s vehicle after he made the bomb threat. He pleaded guilty in May to one second-degree felony of making a false alarm.
Judge Roger Griffin agreed with attorneys from both sides of the case who said Craig’s debilitating mental health problems were the primary factor behind his crimes.
Craig was ordered to undergo mental health treatment while on probation.
