A 39-year-old man, identified as David Gildea, is facing multiple charges after falsely reporting a bomb threat at Aims Community College in Greeley. The incident occurred just before 10 p.m. on Tuesday, prompting a swift response from the Weld County Sheriff’s Office.
The authorities were alerted when Gildea called dispatch, expressing concerns about an imminent bomb detonation on the Aims campus.

The Weld County Sheriff’s Office immediately sprang into action, deploying their Strike Team to ensure the safety of the students and staff.
Upon arriving at the scene, the Strike Team meticulously conducted both interior and exterior searches of the college premises. Fortunately, no explosives were found during the thorough sweep, bringing a sense of relief to the college community.
During the call, the suspect mentioned overhearing two individuals discussing a “cluster” in relation to the bomb.

Thanks to the diligent efforts of the Strike Team, David Gildea’s whereabouts were determined. The sheriff’s office promptly reached out to the property owner, who confirmed that Gildea was residing in the basement. On Thursday, law enforcement officials arrested Gildea at the property, with the property owner’s consent.
David Gildea is currently being held in custody at the Weld County Jail, facing several charges including false reporting of explosives, weapons or harmful substances, obstructing governmental operations, resisting arrest, and obstructing a peace officer. Online court records reveal that Gildea has a criminal history dating back to 2005, with multiple fugitive of justice charges.
Gildea is scheduled to appear in court on Friday at 2 p.m. for a bond hearing. Sheriff Steve Reams emphasized the severity of such incidents, stating, “These types of incidents are extremely dangerous and oftentimes difficult to solve. This suspect should be dealt with by the full strength of the court system.”
