On the morning of Oct. 1, a woman called 911 and reported three bombs would go off at Camp Roberts that afternoon. Authorities placed the base on lockdown, and multiple agencies from San Luis Obispo and Monterey counties conducted an investigation.
Officers did not find any explosives, and officials lifted the lockdown that evening. CHP and Army National Guard investigators continued a probe into the incident for nearly two months.
On the afternoon of Nov. 30, officers arrested Joyce Ann Perkins, 59, of Paso Robles at Camp San Luis Obispo. Officers charged Perkins with felony falsely reporting a bomb threat and booked her into the San Luis Obispo County Jail.
Perkins’ bail was set at $20,000. She is no longer in custody, according to the sheriff’s office website.
