A South Point man will spend the next three years in prison for calling in a bomb threat to a medical clinic.

Stephen R. Wilson 49, of 44 Private Drive 1861, County Road 1, South Point, was sentenced in late November for one count of making terroristic threats.

Wilson had originally pleaded not guilty and his attorney Mike Davenport requested a mental evaluation to determine, not only if he would be competent to stand trial, but also if he was competent as the time of his crime.

The evaluation showed that Wilson was competent in both instances and he changed his plea to guilty.

Wilson was arrested after he allegedly called the King’s Daughters Medical Center Family Care Center in Burlington and said he would blow it up after a staff member told him he had to make an appointment before he could see a doctor.
