CLIVE, Iowa — The Clive Police Department says a bomb threat that was made at a MercyOne facility on Thursday was made by a man who was frustrated with the wait time.

According to a Clive Police Department release, just before noon, a bomb threat was called into the MercyOne Family Medicine facility in the 1600 block of NW 114th Street. Authorities say the building was evacuated and then inspected by an explosive detection K-9. No devices were found, and the threat was deemed not credible, according to Clive PD.

Detectives traced the phone number used back to 59-year-old Kevin Sanders from West Des Moines, Iowa. Authorities say Sanders was located at his residence and later, during the interview, made admissions to the call. Sanders claimed he was frustrated with the length of time he had to wait on hold, and after asking what was taking so long, Sanders referenced a bomb in the building and then hung up, according to Clive PD.

Sanders was arrested and taken to the Clive Police Department, where he was charged with harassment, a simple misdemeanor.

“While this comment may have been made out of frustration, it does not relieve Mr. Sanders from the repercussions that have accompanied it. This call resulted in the evacuation of a medical facility, disruption of services to those in need of medical care, and wasted resources of the Clive Police and Fire Department, as well as the Johnston Police Department,” stated Clive PD Chief Mark Rehberg.

Sanders was processed and released with a court date.

“A harassment charge may only be a simple misdemeanor, but this should serve as an example that we will investigate these crimes and hold those who commit them accountable,” said Chief Rehberg.
