According to the Summit County Sheriff's Office, a Greyhound bus driver was forced to pull over in the Colorado mountain town of Frisco in recent days after a passenger allegedly made a bomb threat. The female passenger allegedly commented that she had a bomb and that she was "full of dynamite."
Due to safety concerns, passengers were evacuated and authorities soon arrived at the scene to investigate.
When law enforcement made contact with the woman, she claimed that she didn't remember making the threat and appeared to be having some sort of mental health episode.
No explosives were found among the woman's belongings and she met with a member of the System-wide Mental Assessment Response Team (S.M.A.R.T.) for a mental health assessment.
At that point, law enforcement determined that nothing criminal was taking place at the scene. The woman was allowed back onto the bus with agreement from the driver and the bus continued on its way.

Cocaine and chili con carne - a dangerous combination.
"The woman was allowed back onto the bus with agreement from the driver and the bus continued on its way." Okay. But I thought there were laws about communicating public threats, even as a ruse. But then, who pays attention to our laws these days?
