Man Charged After Allegedly Calling in Bomb Threat to Workplace

Cordarryl Rayshun Gooden, 24, of Hastings, is charged with making terroristic threats—a felony—after he allegedly paid to have a bomb threat called in to his workplace.

According to the criminal complaint, on Dec. 15, Rosemount police were called to a business that reported receiving a bomb threat phone call. The person who had called allegedly call back to say he had been paid $50 to make the call, the complaint says.

Through investigations of phone call records, social networking pages and related contact information, as well as verification of driver's license records and addresses, police found the number used to call in the threat was at the residence of Gooden, who was an employee at the store that received the threat.

In February, an officer called the number and asked for Gooden; the person who answered said he was Gooden, according to the complaint. The officer said he was investigating bomb threats made at the business, and Gooden said he might have been working there at the time.

The Minnesota Bureau of Investigation determined based on cell phone tower records that the calls to the business were made from near the business, the complaint says.
