(East St. Louis, IL) — Federal prosecutors say a man from East Alton has been sentenced to 15-months in prison for making repeated bomb threats to a Home Depot store in Alton. Authorities say Jeremy Colwell faxed threats to the store, the police, a local television station and the FBI on three separate occasions. No explosions were found, no devices were found, but each time prosecutors say the store was either evacuated or searched.
