Bomb Threat at M&Js proves to be hoax

The Toccoa Police Department recently responded to a bomb threat at M&Js on Georgia Highway 106.

According to Police Chief Jimmy Mize, his officers responded to the scene on October 19, just after 1 p.m.

He says Jacqueline Arnold, an employee of the eatery, had reported the threat after receiving a call from Nathan Webb who told her that there was a bomb in the building set to explode in 10 minutes.

Mize said that Webb is the boyfriend of an employee at M&Js.

Webb later called back laughing, saying he was just joking and wanted to see if his girlfriend could get off work.

Following the evacuation, the scene was turned over to the POLICE Department’s CID Unit for follow up.

Mize said that investigators have issued an Active Warrant to arrest Webb for Terroristic Threats and Acts.
