The man who Mobile Police say made several bomb threats against local businesses and a West Mobile hospital will be in court Tuesday. Guests at the Red Roof Inn in Tillman's Corner were evacuated for hours Sunday as the Mobile Police Department's bomb squad moved in. Police say they found several suspicious devices inside Ronald Thompson's hotel room. Police also say Thompson had both Georgia and Florida identification on him; but they are not releasing other details about who exactly Thompson is or what he may have been planning to do, "we are making no comments about him or his motives or about the case because its active, because we're still investigating it," said Mobile Police spokesperson, Nancy Johnson. Thompson is charged with making terrorist threats, possession of cocaine and criminal possession of explosives.

I’m glad they caught the guy before he could do more damage!  Maybe the old Jack Tillman diet plan would help clear the guy’s head.

I am sorry to know that he has snapped as he has.  I feel for his family and his friends.
I hope he gets the help he needs.
