A Florida woman is behind bars after police say she called in a bomb threat to the Florida Department of Children and Families.
Paulletta Higgins, 33, was booked into Miami-Dade County Jail Saturday. She faces charges of falsely reporting a bomb, making harassing phone calls and falsely reporting a crime.
Higgins called the state office in Tallahassee in June to request a hearing for refusal of food assistance, according to court records.
Authorities say Higgins, who called DCF about 100 times that day, told employees a bomb was set to go off in five minutes.
Security officials at the building didn't feel the need to evacuate.
Higgins remained in jail on an out-of-county warrant.
