Bomb Threat Prankster Pleads Guilty

    Yesterday, a man pleaded guilty to [calling in bomb threats] on three separate occasions last year. Miguel Reyes, 32, of Newark called 911 on Oct. 18, 20 and Nov. 2, claiming there would be an explosion at the PATH station in Hoboken. When Newark U.S. District Judge William Walls asked him why, Reyes explained, “It was a joke,” according to a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office. But the angry folk trapped in Jersey weren’t laughing, as the station was closed for several hours and dogs brought in to sniff out the non-existent bomb. Reyes should get together with that, um, shall we say, [unstable Queens kid](http://nypress.com/blogx/display_blog.cfm?bid=81992312) who thought the Virginia Tech massacre would make humorous fodder for a high school prank, and take their act on the road. That is, if Reyes does doesn't wind up spending time in federal prison.
