Undrey L. Jones, 48, of Jackson, Mississippi, has pleaded guilty to threatening to bomb the Veterans Administration Regional Office in Jackson.

Jones made the threat during a phone call to the Veterans Benefits Administration Call Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, on February 27, 2018.

According to court documents, Jones became increasingly agitated during the call, stating that he would ‘come up there and blow the building up,’ referring to the Veterans Administration Regional Office in Jackson.

Jones used several expletives during the call and was arrested the following day, February 28, 2018.

The case was investigated by the Veterans Administration Office of Inspector General, Federal Bureau of Investigation Joint Terrorism Task Force, Mississippi Homeland Security, Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, Madison Police Department, Madison County Sheriff’s Department, and the Hinds County Sheriff’s Department.

Jones faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine. He is set to be sentenced on January 22, 2019 at 10:00am.

Special Agent in Charge James Ross praised the investigation, saying, ‘These charges underscore the Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General’s commitment to the safety of the Veteran Affairs’ patient population, as well as its employees, guests, and facilities.’
