Newport train bomb threat man jailed
A man has been jailed after saying he had a bomb and would blow up a commuter train.
Charles Crisp, 54, caused an evacuation of the train at Newport railway station after a fellow passenger heard him talking about detonating the device.
Crisp, of Alnwick, Northumberland, admitted communicating false information with intent and was given a three-month sentence.
Newport Crown Court heard Crisp was arrested and found to be unarmed.
Prosecutor John Lloyd said: "In a controlled voice, Crisp said, 'I've got a bomb and I'm going to blow every one up.'"
A passenger who heard the remark passed a note to a ticket inspector on the Swansea to Manchester train telling him about the threat.
