A while back we posted about a bomb threat against the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s ship, the Steve Irwin<\/a>. Well, the mystery has been solved: a drunk fisherman called in the threat on his cell phone from his ship across the harbor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kenneth James Archer admitted to calling in the threat because of a “dispute” with the crew members of Sea Shepherd. Police tracked him down because he made the call to the police from his cell phone.<\/p>\n

Archer had been drinking at the time and was embarrassed by the whole ordeal. In court, the judge recognized this and issued a fine of $1,500 as the only punishment.<\/p>\n

“We are satisfied with the sentence,” said Captain Paul Watson. “The man was drinking and obviously angry and he acted irrationally. No one was hurt, but I think the fine is appropriate for compensating the police for their time and effort.”<\/p>\n

Sea Shepherd also said they were glad to see the purpitrator apprehended after commenters on Planetsave<\/a> and other websites accused the organization of fabricating the bomb threat for media attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
