An Ohio man was arrested last week on accusations he phoned a bomb threat last year into a company in North Strabane Township that services the Marcellus shale natural gas industry.

Township police charged Ryan Patrick Dougherty, 39, of Belmont, after determining his cellphone was used to place the call about 11:25 p.m. Nov. 16 to Myers Well Service in Eighty Four, Pa., court records show.

The threat prompted evacuations of Myers and several other nearby businesses.

A bomb search was completed about 4 a.m., and no suspicious packages or devices were found at Myers.

Dougherty denied making the threat, but admitted to calling the business after finding out that his fiancee was allegedly being sexually harassed by a Myers employee, court records allege.

A polygraph test showed “inconsistencies in his statements” about the phone call, police said. Police charged Dougherty with the placement of a bomb threat, making terroristic threats resulting in building evacuations and criminal mischief.

He is free on $25,000 unsecured bond.
