Otta-wha? Man angry at Canada mask mandates calls in bomb threat – in Ohio

A 20-year suspect called in bomb threat so Canadian police would waste their time chasing it, but called a village in Ohio

A man who wanted to join the protests in Canada's capital over mask mandates called in a bomb threat so police would waste their time chasing it, authorities said, but he called the wrong Ottawa - a village in Ohio.

The man, a 20-year-old from Akron, Ohio, called the Putnam county sheriff's office twice Monday, said sheriff's Capt Brad Brubaker.
