This story has been corrected to reflect the bomb squad was not called out to the scene, but it was considered at the time of the incident.
For the third time this month, College Station police make an arrest on a charge of filing a false report. 21 year old Chancellor Mitchell of College Station told police, according to his arrest report, that he was trying to get a friend out of the house more. That’s why he called the friends house last month, told the friends roommate he was an Atmos Energy employee, and told everyone in the house to evacuate because of the risk of a natural gas explosion. The roommate called Atmos, who in turn contacted CSPD. Police considered bringing in the bomb squad and evacuating the neighborhood south of Oakwood Intermediate School. Atmos cleared the house on Glade Street and PD found nothing suspicious. About one hour later, police learned the suspect’s identity through other occupants of the evacuated home. Officers found Mitchell and he admitted to making the call. Mitchell, who was arrested last week, is out of jail on a bond promising he will appear at future court hearings.
