CAMILLA - Police say an Albany man accused of making two bomb threats that emptied a Camilla poultry plant made one of the calls because he was running late for work. <br> <br> Officials say the two 30-minute evacuations cost tens of thousands of dollars in lost productivity for the Equity Group processing plant on U.S. as employees stood outside waiting for work to resume. <br> <br> Camilla Police Department investigator Vernon Nobles says the plant was evacuated twice Tuesday to allow searches for explosives. <br> <br> Police charged 18-year-old Cleveland Earl Roberts with two counts of transmitting a false public alarm. Each count carries a sentence of up to five years. <br> <br> The plant received the first threat at 3 a.m.; the second call was made at 10 a.m. <br> <br> Nobles says Roberts admitted making one of the calls because he was late for work.
