Glenville Man Charged With GlobalFoundries Bomb Threat

MALTA — A man working at GlobalFoundries allegedly left a note saying there were bombs on the Fab 8 site the morning of Monday, December 9, causing 3,000 construction employees to evacuate off the campus and halting operations for the day. Robert Thomas, 25, allegedly posted the note around the common area at the chip fab construction site that said explosives were on the scene. The note was found sometime before 9:45 a.m. and no one was harmed in the incident, as no bombs were ever found at the Luther Forest Technology Campus. Thomas, a resident of Glenville, was charged with falsely reporting an incident. The charge is a felony that could carry with it a four-year prison sentence, maximum. He was arraigned in Malta Town Court and sent to the Saratoga County jail without bail. GlobalFoundries continued operations on Tuesday.
