Man charged for cruise ship hoax bomb threat
A man has been charged for making a bomb threat on a Carnival Cruise Line ship.
A man was indicted for an alleged bomb hoax against Carnival Cruise Line in January.
Joshua Darrell Lowe II allegedly made a false bomb threat, stating ‘someone might have a bomb’ on the Carnival Sunrise cruise ship, which was sailing from Jamaica from Miami at the time.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Michigan said ship crew searched more than 1,000 staterooms for a device.
The U.S. Coast Guard was notified of the bomb threat and the ship received a Marine Police escort to port.
“We take every threat of mass violence seriously,” said Mark Totten, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Michigan.
“Hoaxes can endanger lives and incur needless costs. My office has zero tolerance for wrongdoers who intentionally convey false and misleading information.”
Lowem 19, from Bailey, Michigan, is facing up to five years in prison if convicted.
He would also be liable for restitution costs.
