ATLANTA -- Two Georgia men were sentenced Wednesday to federal prison for telephoning a bomb threat to the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and making false statements to the FBI about the call.Officials said Quantavious Greene, 28, of Jackson, was sentenced Wednesday to four months and Elijah Chandler, 21, of College Park, got six months.The CDC received a call April 14, 2006, ostensibly from a fired employee, saying a bomb had been placed in the building. A search revealed no bomb.
The FBI determined that the former employee had not made the call, and the investigation led to Chandler, a CDC contract worker, and Greene, who finally admitted making the call at Chandler's urging so he could leave work early.
