Woman Calls In Bomb Threat To Her New Boyfriend's Work So He'll Spend Extra Time With Her

A 33-year-old Maine woman is facing charges after calling in a bomb threat to her boyfriend's place of employment in order to ensure he would have a day off from work.

Kayla Marie Blake, of Etna, Maine was arrested at the end of September after threatening to place a bomb at Puritan Medical Products in Pittsfield around 9 am on Thursday, September 23.

The call forced the evacuation of the factory where her boyfriend worked. She then followed up, calling police to say she was going to place four pipe bombs at the factory.

The evacuation lasted 24 hours and affected over 400 workers. Puritan Medical Supplies is a plant that makes medical swabs for nasal use, including tests for SARS-CoV-2.






The police were able to track the threat to Blake, who was arrested on one count of terrorizing for her false calls. When asked why she made the calls, she purportedly said it was to spend extra time with her boyfriend.

However, reports state Blake and her alleged boyfriend had only met a week prior on a dating app.

The man in question has not made any statements connected to the incident.





Puritan Medical Supplies made national news before.

In June 2020 Trump spoke at the plant unmasked, thereby ruining hundreds of nasal swabs the plant was forced to destroy.






Blake's bail was set at $1500.

She has not yet entered a plea in the case.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
