Kanawha elementary school custodian charged with making terroristic threat

A Kanawha County elementary school custodian is charged with making a terroristic threat after allegedly threatening to make a gas bomb.

The sheriff's office says 51-year-old Bruce Edward Stanley of Cross Lanes was upset because teachers at Cross Lanes Elementary School received gift cards and he didn't get one.

A witness told authorities that a school employee asked Stanley how he would have spent a gift card and he replied that he would have bought gas and made some bombs. According to media reports, Stanley allegedly asked if anyone had ever seen a gas bomb go off and said it was "coming down."

The school was searched by a bomb squad, and nothing was found.

Stanley was arraigned and was being held in jail on $25,000 cash bond.
