When a Pahrump resident could not get logged on to his home computer, he decided to make a phone call to Valley Electric Association at approximately 9 p.m., on Tuesday, March 24.<\/p>\n
During that call, according to the Nye County Sheriffs Office Lt. Adam Tippetts, a man, identified as Ernest Peterson, 62, was so angry that he allegedly threatened to bomb the place.<\/p>\n
VEA management stated that the suspect left a voice mail stating that he was going to blow up the building, Tippetts said via a video news release. Deputies interviewed Peterson at his residence, and he stated that he left the voice mail because he was upset that his internet was not working.<\/p>\n
Tippetts went on to say that following the interview, Peterson was subsequently arrested and booked into the Nye County Detention Center. Peterson was arrested on suspicion of communicating a bomb threat.<\/p>\n
