Jermaine McCain, 36 was arrested on Tuesday after making a fake bomb threat, and taking police on a high speed chase.
Trenton called in a fake bomb threat at the Mercer County Criminal Courthouse last week, after he told police he was not up to going to court that day, because he “had things to do.”
According to NJ.com.
Last Thursday, McCain allegedly dialed 911 in Trenton and threatened to detonate an explosive at the courthouse, Mercer County Sheriff’s spokesman Ernest Cerino Jr. said in release.
Sheriff’s investigators later linked the fake threat to McCain and found he was evading law enforcement, Cerino said.
Authorities in Bucks County told Levittownnow.com that Mercer County officers and federal agents pursued a man driving a Lexus from Bensalem to Route 1 in Middletown and onto West Lincoln Highway before crashing at the corner of West Lincoln Highway and Hulmeville Avenue in Penndel at 4:15 p.m.
The Levittown news site also posted pictures of damaged vehicles, including a police vehicle.
McCain was charged with making a false public alarm and placing a 911 call without actual emergency in Mercer County, Cerino said.
He is currently being held at the Bucks County Jail in Doylestown, Pa. on $50,000 bail for a flight from justice charge. He faces additional criminal charges from Bensalem police as well, Cerino said.
Maybe going to his court appearance would have been the better choice?
