SMETHPORT — A Bradford man pleaded guilty Thursday in McKean County Court for making threats to put a bomb in Bradford’s Veterans Square.

Keven W. Curtis, 25, pleaded guilty before President Judge John Pavlock for one charge of bomb threats-threatens placement of bomb, a first-degree misdemeanor.

District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer explained that between Oct. 1 and 26, Curtis threatened to place an explosive device in Veterans Square with the intent to hurt people.

Curtis, who was on county supervision for a simple assault conviction at the time of the bomb threat, had his supervision revoked on Thursday.

Curtis will be sentenced Jan. 16 for both the bomb threat conviction and the revocation.

The criminal complaint filed at the time of his arrest in the bomb threat case stated that a family member told police that Curtis was planning to construct pipes bombs, and said Curtis was homeless and they didn’t know his whereabouts.

The complaint alleged that Curtis had started purchasing materials he needed to make bombs, and he planned to detonate one in a parking lot on Chestnut Street as a practice run before detonating pipe bombs in the gazebo in Veterans Square. He allegedly told police he planned to shoot his child’s mother’s boyfriend with a rifle, too.
