A Mechanicsville woman who admitted to police that she left bomb threats with the answering service for the Schuylkill County Children and Youth Services Agency on Dec. 12, 2016, will likely be freed on reduced bail.

Jaclyn M. Hollywood, 34, on Friday told Judge Jacqueline L. Russell she wanted to seek mental health treatment if released.Hollywood also told Russell she would live with her boyfriend, Dennis Powanda Jr., at his parents' house on Emerick Street in Pottsville.Russell agreed to reduce bail to $30,000 percentage from the original $250,000 straight cash, meaning Hollywood would have to come up with $3,000 to gain her freedom.Her family, Hollywood said, had gotten about $1,500 together.Russell said the Powanda family would have to formally agree to have her live there before she could be released.Hollywood was charged on Dec. 12 by investigating officer Detective Kirk A. Becker with two counts each of bomb threats report without knowledge of bomb, terroristic threats, criminal use of a communication facility and disorderly conduct.Under questioning by Deputy District Attorney Robert I. Lipkin, Hollywood testified she worked at various jobs, the latest being a delivery helper with UPS in St. Clair.She also admitted to having a criminal history between 2007 and 2012.Hollywood told Russell that the county Children and Youth Services agency was involved with her youngest daughter, who is 3 and in foster care.The agency "has some concerns about drug use, but I wasn't actively using," Hollywood said.She said she used methamphetamine.The agency wanted her to get a drug and alcohol evaluation, "which I didn't think I needed," she said.She said she took medication for depression and anxiety, and was on them when she phoned in the threats.Lipkin said Becker opposed the bail reduction.Her bail is high, Lipkin conceded, "but the situation was terrible," and expensive for the city of Pottsville and for the county."What do we say in terms of comforting ourselves that this is not going to happen again?" he asked Russell.The judge told Lipkin bail was meant to ensure a defendant would show up in court and not commit another crime.Lipkin, she said, didn't present a strong case that Hollywood reoffend or flee.Her family lives in the area, she grew up in Pottsville and worked in the area. She lost her driver's license some time ago for lack of insurance and then driving under suspension.According to police, an investigation revealed that Hollywood had called the agency at 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.Authorities evacuated the courthouse and all county buildings.No bombs were found.Police traced the threatening call back to Hollywood's phone.Hollywood told Becker she had a hearing with Children and Youth that day, and admitted to making the call.
