SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) A former Springfield man pleaded guilty to making bomb
threat aimed at a veterans clinic in Mount Vernon.
Federal prosecutors say 48-year-old Richard Leslie Turner III on Tuesday
admitted on July 13th, 2018, he threatened to blow up the Community Based Outpatient Clinic.
Prosecutors say Turner became angry after he was told an appointment he had at
the clinic had been changed. Shortly after Turner left, another patient said
Turner was in the parking lot making statements about obtaining explosives and
blowing up the clinic.
When authorities contacted him, Turner became angry that the clinic called
police and again said he intended to blow up the clinic.
