Wal-Mart repeatedly evacuted due to bomb threats by ex-employee

A former Wal-Mart employee made two bomb threats to a store in Marysville, Washington the week before Thanksgiving.
Wesley Gene Dorris, 29, was arrested at his new place of employment after the phone calls were traced. During the same time period, another call was placed by a 15-year-old boy who made similar threats against the same store.
While no bombs were ever found, managers estimated the loss of about $500,000 in retail sales as the store was evacuated and closed for several hours.
During the investigation, Dorris stated that he made the fake bomb threats as he believed that he was unjustly fired.
