Woman phones in bomb threat from hospital bed to strip club, cops say

A Charleston woman phoned in a bomb threat to a gentlemen's club in Jefferson from a room at a local hospital, deputies said.

Kanawha Sheriff's Cpl. J.H. Thaxton went to JB's Gentlemen's Club on U.S. 60 in Jefferson Thursday to investigate after a woman left a threatening message on the bar's answering machine, according to a complaint filed in Kanawha Magistrate Court.

Manager Carol Ramsey told Thaxton that a woman called the bar and left a message on the answering machine for a former employee who went by the name Cotton. The woman, later identified as Christina Young, 27, of Washington Street West, warned of a bomb that was "coming soon," according to the complaint.

Deputies were able to track the number back to a room St. Francis Hospital. Theresa Young, Christina Young's mother, identified Christina as the voice in the message after hearing a recording of the message. Donna Webb, who shared the room at the hospital with Christina Young, told deputies that she'd overheard Young making threats over the telephone, deputies said.

A warrant for Young's arrest charges her with falsely reporting a bomb.
