Bomb hoaxer formally admits call to 911

(CNS): James Bernie Williamson, who was arrested following a bomb hoax just before Christmas and admitted his culpability, formally entered his plea Friday when he admitted to the offence. Having checked into Caribbean Haven to deal with his alcohol dependency, Williamson was bailed to remain there and continue with the rehabilitation programme at the facility until his sentencing in March. The West Bay man was a former employee of the Caribbean Cub, which, along with the Ritz-Carlton, was one of the resorts involved in the hoax called into the 911 emergency centre on 14 December. The call caused chaos at the two leading resorts in the heart of seven Mile Beach and during peak tourist season.
