Woman arrested for allegedly calling in hoax bomb threat to Boston Children's Hospital

A woman has been arrested after she allegedly called Boston Children's Hospital and said a bomb was on the way. The threat was later determined to be a hoax.

Catherine Leavy, of Westfield, Massachusetts, was taken into custody without incident at her home on Thursday morning, officials said during a press conference. The 37-year-old was charged with one federal count of making a false telephonic bomb threat.

On Aug. 30, a hospital employee received a call from someone who said: "There is a bomb on the way to the hospital. You better evacuate everyone, you sicko," according to U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts Rachael Rollins.
