Eby sentenced in bomb hoax

July 17, 2013
Robin Eby, 48, Bonners Ferry, was sentenced Tuesday in Bonner County for calling in a phony bomb threat that evacuated the Bonner County Administration Building last March on the eve of an election.

According to the Bonner County Daily Bee, Eby, who tried to call the Bee with that threat but dialed a wrong number, accidentally reaching an assisted living facilty to ostensibly get out of a court hearing, was sentenced by Judge Barbara Buchanan to 180 days in jail, with credit for time served, three to ten years supervised probation, a $500 fine, $240.50 court costs and $300 in defense reimbursement.

In addition, she will have to pay Bonner County $1,918.85 for costs incurred by the evacuation.
