MAN SENTENCED FOR COURTHOUSE BOMB THREAT

(Connersville, IN)--A Fayette County man has been sentenced to ten years in prison a little more than a year after he made a bomb threat at the courthouse there.  46-John Sheets, Junior pled guilty to numerous felony charges.  Other charges were dismissed as part of a plea deal.  Sheets called in the bomb threat in March of last year in an effort to force a delay of a hearing for his girlfriend in an unrelated drug case.  Sheets then admitted to making the threat when he was arrested on drug charges a year ago.
