Upset About North Korea 76 Year-Old Woman Made Bomb Threat To Poker Room

A bomb threat was made against the Hollywood Casino at the Penn National Race Course last weekend by an elderly woman ‘concerned about North Korea and Rocket Man’, according to the PennLive news site.

The incident occurred shortly after 2 a.m. on October 2 when Corp contacted the Hollywood Casino in East Hanover Township, Dauphin County, court records of the incident stating that 76-year-old Linda Long Corp phoned the poker room, warning an employee that "the players didn't have long to gamble and that they needed to be warned that at any point the bombs could go off."

The employee added that the ‘older woman with a raspy voice’ talked about North Korea and "the Rocket Man," according to police who investigated the threats. ‘Rocket Man’ is the term Donald Trump recently used for Kim Jong Un, the North Korean leader, with the US president stating:

"Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself”.

Police later discovered that the call came from Corps landline in Lebanon, and when interviewed, Corp “advised that she has been upset with how the government is being run and that she knows she mentioned North Korea," according to court records.

The reason the casino was threatened was apparently because ‘she was upset about the recent death of her boyfriend, who frequently went to the casino’, according to Joe Elias of PennLive.com.

Despite apologising to troopers and offering to write a letter of apology to the state police, Corp has been ‘charged with making terroristic threats and a bomb threat’ and is being held on $5,000 bail at the Dauphin County Prison, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for October 11th.

The recent horrific mass shooting outside the Mandalay Bay Hotel also saw reports of a ‘bomb threat’ when social media users listening in on police scanners claimed that a black Audi was spotted with "wires sticking out" close to the Luxor Hotel, although these reports were not confirmed by police at the time.

The attack itself claimed 58 lives plus that of the gunman Stephen Paddock, with hundreds of others wounded in the assault.
