73-year old man guilty as charged over bomb threat
On Tuesday, Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Diane Druzinski convicted 73- year-old Lynn Morton of Warren on all charges after a bench trial by Assistant Prosecutor Patrick Sierawski.
On September 15, 2022, Morton contacted the 37th Warren District Court via telephone and made a threat to bomb the court. On October 18, 2022, Morton was arrested for his warrant for the bomb threat and while he was at the Warren Police Department he refused officers commands and did not comply with officers.
Morton was charged and found guilty of a False Report or Threat of Bomb/Harmful Device (four year felony) and Assaulting/ Resisting/Obstructing a Police Officer (two year felony). He is scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday, February 29, at 9 a.m. by Druzinksi.
“Threats to our judicial system and resistance to law enforcement are serious offenses that will not be tolerated. This guilty verdict sends a clear message that such behavior will be met with legal consequences, and our justice system will hold individuals accountable for their actions,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
