Police have arrested a Corolla man and charged him with making a bomb threat to the Dare County Justice Center the same day he was scheduled to appear there on other charges.
Gary Milton Abrahamian, 36, was arrested in Corolla Tuesday and charged with “making a false bomb report on a public building,” a felony, according to a news release from the Dare County Sheriff’s Office. Police say they tracked the Justice Center call to a cell phone.
On April 8, Abrahamian was arrested in Southern Shores and charged with two counts of secret peeping. He was scheduled to be in District Court Tuesday for those charges, the news release said.

An employee at the Justice Center received a call about 9:12 a.m. Tuesday from a person who said there was a bomb in the building.
All were evacuated from the 70,000-square-foot Justice Center, which houses court rooms, the clerk of courts office, the sheriff’s office, register of deeds office and several tax offices, said Dorothy Toolan, the county’s public relations coordinator.
Court was in session at the time, she said. After a search that lasted less than 45 minutes, the building was deemed safe. It reopened by 10 a.m.
