Alexander Bradley, a 44-year-old man, pleaded guilty to conveying false information about explosives and hoaxes after making bomb threats to Yale New Haven Hospital in Connecticut.
According to court documents, on May 9, 2021, Bradley called the Yale University Health Clinic and threatened to bomb the hospital, claiming that he had been denied care.
Approximately 30 minutes later, Bradley made another anonymous call to the hospital, stating that he had placed a pressure cooker containing a bomb outside of the building.
The bomb threat disrupted hospital operations and required a significant response from the New Haven Police Department, Yale Police Department, and Yale New Haven Protective Service.
Bradley was arrested on April 28, 2022, after an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Joint Terrorism Task Force revealed that the phone number used to make the threats was linked to him.
While released on bond and living in a residential treatment facility, Bradley removed his location monitoring bracelet and absconded on May 27, 2022. He was rearrested on July 14, 2023.
Bradley pleaded guilty to conveying false information about explosives and false information and hoaxes, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 15 years.
Judge Sarala V. Nagala scheduled sentencing for March 7, 2024.
