A man has been arrested and charged with threatening to blow up a dental practice in Joplin, Mo.
James Trotter, 68, allegedly called My Dentist multiple times over the course of a few days making vague threats before calling the dental office once more and threatening to blow the practice up.
Dispatchers advised dental office staff to take patients to a safe area. Officers who arrived at the scene determined there was no immediate threat to the employees.
Mr. Trotter’s bond was set at $25,000.
