A Florida man found a phone in the bathroom of a Walmart and proceeded to call in a bomb threat, authorities say.

Now the man, 28-year-old Coty J. Clements, is facing a false report about planting a bomb or weapon of mass destruction charge.

The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office received a call Friday from a man who said there was a bomb at the local Neighborhood Walmart on Tamiami Trail in Port Charlotte. The man hung up but answered when cops called back and said “Tic Toc, Tic Toc” before hanging up again, a press release said.

bbm... And this guy is how old? The article reported, he is 28 years old.

From the article:

Clements then left the store but walked back inside where deputies arrested him. He admitted to making the call, saying he saw people do the same thing on TikTok.

So he posted bond and declined public defender services. Maybe he has more money than brains?

Where would the world be without Florida Man? Pretty sure I wouldn't even touch a phone left in a public bathroom let alone call in a bomb threat with it..ugh.

How do you even get such an idea. I was thinking he should use that creativity for better things but no. He just copied it from tik tok.
Reminds me of my idiot dad who was flying just after the London bombings 2005. The cabin crew asked him to put away his video camera for whatever reason and he threw a little toddler fit "WHY! Do you think I'm hiding a bomb in it!!??" Don't know what they were thinking but he was greeted by armed police when they landed.
Some people don't seem to understand you don't joke about bombs anymore!
