{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}An "intersexual" suspect from Arkansas, who identifies as a woman, was arrested after allegedly making bomb threats against a college town in neighboring Mississippi.
Officers with the Oxford Police Department in Mississippi received reports on Jan. 31 that Lily Mestemacher, 29, allegedly threatened to bomb an area in the town, according to a press release from the department that used feminine pronouns.
Officers searched the relevant area with a K-9 unit and declared it secure, the department said.
