Joshua Darrell Lowe, a Michigan man, was sentenced to eight months in prison for a false bomb threat he made to Carnival Cruise Line while his girlfriend was on vacation. Upset about being left behind to care for their pets, he sent an email suggesting a bomb threat on the cruise ship, which caused significant disruption. The ship had to be diverted, incurring substantial costs and inconvenience to passengers. Lowe's actions prompted investigations that quickly traced back to him, leading to his arrest and subsequent sentencing.
The defendant may not have intended all the harm that resulted from his action, but the consequences of his email were serious.
The hoax resulted in substantial disruption, including inconvenience to the passengers and potential lost revenue to the cruise line.
