JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - A Mississippi man has pleaded guilty to threatening to bomb a Veterans Administration office.
The U.S. attorney’s office for southern Mississippi says in a news release that 48-year-old Undrey L. Jones of Jackson entered the plea Monday.
The release says on Feb. 27, Jones called the Veterans Benefits Administration Call Center in Salt Lake City. It says Jones identified himself by name, demanded to speak to the director of the VA Medical Center and Regional Office in Jackson, Mississippi, and said he would “come up there and blow the building up.”
