\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0LOS ANGELES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

An Oklahoma man who grew up in Los Angeles pleaded guilty today to a federal criminal charge for telephoning bomb threats to five Los Angeles schools, including two elementary schools, threatening to shoot the children as they exited one of the elementary schools, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marcus Jamal Sanchez, 45, a.k.a. \u201cMarcus James Buchanan,\u201d of Blackwell, Oklahoma, pleaded guilty to one count of making a threat through interstate commerce to damage and destroy buildings by fire and explosives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sanchez, arrested in June 2022, has been on bond since July 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

The depraved act of making death threats to vulnerable schoolchildren is incomprehensible to most and will not be tolerated by the FBI, nor the American people,\u201d said Amir Ehsaei, the Acting Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office. \u201cWhen such threats are reported, they must always be treated as credible and so they continue to drain valuable resources from law enforcement at the expense of the taxpayers who fund them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to his plea agreement, during less than two hours on the morning of February 28, 2022, Sanchez called in bomb threats to two elementary schools, two middle schools, and a high school in Los Angeles. In a call to one of the elementary schools, Sanchez threatened to shoot the children as they exited the building.<\/span><\/p>\n

On April 27 and 28, Sanchez made additional bomb threats to two of the Los Angeles schools he previously threatened, threatening to shoot and kill children at other schools. On the afternoon of April 27, Sanchez called an elementary school and said to a school employee:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a bomb at your school, and we will shoot the kids when they get out of the school. That is what you get for not accepting me in \u201986,<\/em><\/strong>\u201d according to his plea agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n

After receiving the threat, the school staff notified the police and placed the school on lockdown. Police searched the campus for explosives or unusual items but found none.<\/span><\/p>\n

On April 28, Sanchez called the same school again and said there was a pipe bomb placed at the school\u2019s address. After receiving the bomb threat, the school staff notified the police and placed the school on lockdown. Police searched the campus for explosives or unusual items but found none.<\/span><\/p>\n

That same day, Sanchez called a different elementary school and said, \u201cStop playing games; you know who this is. I am going to shoot the school. I know the kids are there.\u201d Afterward, the school was placed on lockdown, but \u2013 as with all the incidents \u2013 no explosives or unusual items were found.<\/span><\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Josephine L. Staton scheduled a June 7 sentencing hearing. Sanchez faces up\u00a0 10 years in federal prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

The FBI and the Los Angeles School Police Department investigated this matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jena A. MacCabe of the Violent and Organized Crime Section is prosecuting this case.<\/span><\/p>\n
