SEATTLE — A 26-year-old Seattle University nursing student accused of leaving notes threatening to bomb campus buildings has been ordered held in lieu of $50,000 bail.
The Seattle Times reports Mai Thi Bach Nguyen, of Skyway, is being held in King County Jail on investigation of threats to bomb and felony harassment.
Court documents show police found four notes in restrooms at Seattle University on Friday, threatening the placement of bombs at two campus buildings. Both buildings were evacuated and searched for bombs, but none were found.
