A Mechanicsville woman who admitted to police that she left a bomb threat with the answering service for the Schuylkill County Children and Youth Services Agency on Dec. 12, 2016, on Monday waived her right to a preliminary hearing.

Jaclyn M. Hollywood, 34, kept her hands in obscene gestures covering her face as she arrived at District Judge James K. Reiley's Pottsville courtroom.Shackled, cuffed, and wearing a Schuylkill County prison uniform, Hollywood did not testify.She signed papers waiving her right to a hearing, and was returned by Pottsville police to prison, where she is being held under $250,000 cash bail.Hollywood was charged by investigating officer Detective Kirk Becker with threats to use weapons of mass destruction, terroristic threats, criminal use of a communication facility, all third degree felonies; and disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor.According to police, an investigation revealed that Hollywood had called the agency at about 8:15 a.m. Dec. 12 and told an answering service employee that a bomb was set to explode in the county courthouse at 9:30 a.m.The threat triggered an evacuation of the courthouse and all other county buildings.The county sheriff's office and police searched the buildings, but no bombs were found.Police, with the help of Comcast, were able to trace the call back to Hollywood's cell phone.Police found her at home, and took her to the police station at City Hall for an interview.There, she told Becker that she was scheduled to attend a hearing with Children and Youth that day, and admitted to making the bomb threat call from her cell phone.She also confirmed there never was any device actually placed, said Police Chief Richard F. Wojciechowsky.
