W. Pa. men jailed in bomb threat diversion heist

SHARON, Pa. (AP) - February 1, 2012

Online court records don't list an attorney for 22-year-olds Aaron Bradley and Joseph Van Meter, both of Hermitage.

The Herald newspaper of Sharon, Pa. reports Wednesday that the men were arrested Monday on charges including robbery and terroristic threats.

Police say the bomb threat was phoned in to West Hill Elementary School in Sharon on Oct. 29, 2008. While that drew police attention while the school was evacuated, the men allegedly robbed the Medicine Shoppe.

The men allegedly tied up two female clerks and stole drugs, but not money. Both men remained jailed Wednesday, unable to post bail.
