The suspect, identified as James Rummel, 61, was detained by hotel security shortly after the incident. During this time, Rummel told a hostess that he owned the Tropicana, KTNV<\/em>, a local TV station, reported. He also made suicidal threats and threatened to kill a security guard if he was taken into custody.<\/p>\n

Despite the threats, Rummel was booked at Clark County Detention Center on Thursday and charged with making terroristic threats.\u00a0 He was identified through surveillance camera footage at the gaming property, KTNV<\/em> said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He remained in custody as of today, according to online jail records. He is scheduled to appear in court next Tuesday, June 14.<\/p>\n

Law and Punishment<\/h2>\n

Making\u00a0a false bomb threat in Nevada is classified as a felony.<\/p>\n

A bomb threat is classified as a crime if someone willfully conveys false information about an explosive device aimed to destroy property or injure individuals. Convictions can carry multi-year prison sentences.<\/p>\n

Recent Wynn Threat<\/h2>\n

Last week, a woman allegedly phoned in a bomb threat for the Wynn Las Vegas<\/a>. She claimed she was a relative of the family linked to Warner Bros. No bomb was found.<\/p>\n

\n

The incident occurred last Friday after Ashley Warner, 31, could not get a room at the hotel, police said. She was later located by Las Vegas Metro police at the hotel. She told police she was a \u201ctrust fund baby for Warner Bros. Studios.\u201d Warner also told cops she was \u201ctired of being harassed and dealing with people who don\u2019t know how to act when she says she does not have ID,\u201d according to the police report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She was booked Saturday and remained in custody at the Clark County Detention Center as of today. Her specific charges are unclear.<\/p>\n

She was being held without bail because of a prior charge, KLAS<\/em>, a local TV station, said. She had been charged with trespassing for the prior incident. KLAS said a local judge ordered that she could not visit the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

Casino.org<\/em> reached out to Warner Bros. Entertainment for a statement on Warner\u2019s arrest. No company statement was released immediately. Police could not confirm she was associated with Warner Bros. or the Warner family.<\/p>\n

Threat at Dotty’s Casino<\/h2>\n

In November, a Las Vegas man allegedly told police a bomb was planted at a Dotty\u2019s casino<\/a> in Las Vegas. He was allegedly trying to distract officers from his golf cart theft.<\/p>\n

The suspect, Scott Wesolaski, 31, later explained to police he made the threat to ensure his escape in the small, stolen vehicle, cops said. No bomb was found.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
