ALBANY, GA --
In our Facebook story of the day, you wanted to know what charges a person could face for calling in a false bomb threat.

We spoke to Sergeant Kenneth Washington, with the Sylvester Police Department, who said they could be charged with calling in a false bomb threat, making a terroristic threat, and any other related charges necessary.

Washington added that these are very serious charges and making this kind of threat is definitely against the law.
