New Bedford Police said Heather Perkins, 37, was called to court today after allegedly making several bomb threats over the last week.

Police say she had eight warrants for her arrest due to the bomb threats.

The threats were targeted at multiple colleges including Springfield College, UMass Dartmouth, and Bridgewater State University.

She also caused an evacuation at New Bedford City Hall after they received a threat last Friday. Officials said the threat was cleared and everyone was able to return to work later that day.

This is an ongoing investigation.
