Charges Against Boothby Dismissed
Charges against former Potter County Mental Health/Mental Retardation Services director James Boothby have been dismissed.
Boothby had been charged with felony counts of risking a catastrophe and making terroristic threats after a device resembling a pipe bomb was found in his office on September 5.
Boothby told the court he made the simulated bomb as part of his duties on the Safety Committee about four years ago for a drill, and it's been on a filing cabinet in his office since then.
Boothby had been suspended from his job in August on an unrelated charge of animal cruelty. He later resigned.
