A Florida woman has blamed her “anger issues” and her need to “blow off steam” for calling in a bomb threat to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
According to NBC2, 54-year-old Adele Belizaire was upset that she lost nearly $400 playing the slot machines, so she called the front desk and told them, “I left a bomb in your casino.” She stupidly made the call from her cellphone, and since her number is linked to her “Player’s Club” rewards card, authorities were easily able to figure out who phoned in the threat.
Belizaire told cops she lost $380 on the slots and called in the threat to “blow off steam.” She was arrested and charged with making a false report about planting a bomb, explosive, or weapon of mass destruction.
I normally just sulk and feel sorry for myself when I lose at the casino, that was certainly a bold approach on her end.
