College Worker Charged in Bomb Threats

Talitha Renee Ponce, 29, of East Waddell Street in Selma, was charged with three counts each of making a false bomb threat in a public building and damaging school property. She was being held in the Johnston County Jail on a $53,000 bond.

Two threats were made against the college last week, and a third threat was found written on a bathroom wall Monday, police said.

A tip led to the arrest of Ponce, who was a janitor at Johnston Community College, police said.
