Revere Woman Charged for Fake Bomb-Threat Calls Top Jet Blue

Federal agents charged a 23-year-old Revere woman for phoning in fake bomb threats to a Boston-to-Chicago Jet Blue flight, forcing an emergency landing at Buffalo. 

Reportedly the threat calls by Nicole Anna Miller involved her cousin who was on-board. Accusations include providing false information to JetBlue employees on March 12 by lying that a passenger aboard flight 923 was carrying explosives. 

Miller can face up to five years in federal prison along with a $250,000 fine, if convicted.

Miller kept calling the airlines before the particular flight departure claiming there was explosives on board and making alarming statements like "Please tell me the plane was stopped ... my cousin is going through a lot of things right now, she is not thinking clearly, she is psychotic, she is very suicidal."
Later when identified, it was determined that she and her cousin had been involved in a "personal dispute."

Miller's initial court appearance took place on July 4. Her next appearance before the jury was yesterday.

United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz and Richard DesLauriers, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Boston Field Division, broke the news.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Nadine Pellegrini of Ortiz's Major Crimes Unit.
The defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
