A man accused of making multiple bomb threats in Alaska was arrested in Flagstaff, Ariz. on March 6, following a federal grand jury indictment that was announced in December 2024.
Christopher Gilbert, 33, allegedly made six bomb threats in 2023, targeting key locations in Alaska.
On Oct. 17, 2023, he is accused of calling in bomb threats to Ted Stevens International Airport, Fairview Elementary School in Anchorage, and Maniilaq Health Center in Kotzebue. Two months later, on December 8, he allegedly made additional threats to the same airport, as well as O’Malley Elementary School in Anchorage and Harborview Elementary School in Juneau.
Prosecutors claim that Gilbert called in the threats and demanded the evacuation of a hospital, as he claimed bombs were planted in a school, and even alleged that a pipe bomb was hidden on a plane. Investigators also believe that at least one of the threats was made in retaliation against a family member who refused to give him money.
Gilbert faces six counts of making bomb threats in interstate commerce. He appeared before a U.S. Magistrate Judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona and will be transported to Alaska for further legal proceedings. If convicted, he could face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
The arrest was announced by the FBI Anchorage Field Office and is being investigated by the FBI. The prosecution is led by Assistant US Attorney William Taylor, with assistance from the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona.
