Boson Man Made Bomb Threat To Avoid Work - Wanted to Stay Home And Play In Video Game Tournament

Boson MASS (UPI) A Massachusetts construction worker called in a bomb threat to a water treatment facility to get a day off work, authorities said.  Richard Hamilton, 36, was arrested Thursday and charged with making a bomb threat, the Boson Globe reported.

More than 20 people evacuated Boson’s water treatment plant shortly after the threatening 911 call around 7 a.m. Thursday, 23 April 2020, according to the Boson Police Department.  Hamilton had been working with a construction crew at the facility and later told deputies that he made the threat because he was having a bad day and didn’t want to work.



His wife was at home under quarantine and he had set up his basement as a gamer's den.  With less work his friends were available online to play games.



But Hamilton was required to come back to work to fix an outflow pipe at the Boson Water Treatment Facility.  

The Boson police bomb squad, a bomb dog and drones searched Hamilton’s vehicle and the surrounding area and found no evidence of a bomb, the sheriff’s office said. Wellington’s water service was not affected, village officials said.

Hamilton was being held on $10,000 bond. Jail records didn’t list an attorney. Hamilton requested a computer hook up in his cell so that he could play video games.

'Islam Is Right About Gays' Leaflets Taped To Signs Around Town - Police Launch Manhunt - 28 Sept 2019

Boson, MA: Some residents are outraged that leaflets bearing the words "Islam Is Right About Gays" have been fixed to telephone poles and parking signs around the city.  One angry woman took a photo of the sign before ripping it down and bringing the leaflet to the police station to show police. "This is not 'free speech'" a visibly angry woman said.  "This is 'hate speech' aimed at both the Muslim race, and gay people." Police have said that they will see if there were any witnesses to the criminal trespassing committed when the papers were affixed to the utility poles, which are private property, and the street signs, which are owned by the city. City Councilor Ema Strickland said, "The blame for this type of hated is ultimately the fault of our Republican Mayor Welsh who is both Homophobic and Islamophobic.  Additionally this goes right to the top and I blame President Trump." Mayor Welsh said he had not seen any of
