Wisconsin Court System

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A Milwaukee woman has been charged after police said she made a bomb threat and stole items from a Pick ‘n Save on Bluemound Rd.

Police arrested Andrea Mary Cloud-Jones after officers said she threatened store employees and claimed a bomb had been planted following an attempted theft Friday, July 4. A criminal complaint states that Cloud-Jones was seen putting a container of mixed fruit, crab legs, a 10-pack of mini-Fireball whiskey bottles, pomegranate juice and Mountain Dew into her purse at the store.

Store employees told officers they blocked Cloud-Jones from leaving, prompting her to threaten to punch one worker, claim to be an FBI agent and say there was a bomb inside the store.

Officers located her at a nearby Starbucks with the stolen items.

She faces one charge of terrorist threats causing a panic or fear as well as robbery with a threat of force.
