A 40-year-old woman is accused of making threats to a Social Security Administration office in Hot Springs after becoming upset over a benefit check, authorities said.
Candiac Jamale Scott remained jailed Thursday after her arrest Tuesday on a charge of first-degree terroristic threatening, online records showed.
A probable-cause affidavit said Scott was upset she could not immediately receive a replacement benefit check and told a worker over the phone, "I guess I'm going to have to blow you up," The Sentinel-Record newspaper in Hot Springs reported.
In a call the next day that was routed to a different Social Security office in the state, Scott inquired about the Hot Springs location and said "those people won't have a building to work at," according to the affidavit quoted by the newspaper.
Scott later told investigators she made the threats because she was angry, police said.
Scott's bail was set at $1,500. A court date is set for May 15.
