Man Who Threatened to Bomb Connecticut Company Sentenced to Prison

Dec 14, 2012 (JUSTICE DEPARTMENT DOCUMENTS AND PUBLICATIONS/ContentWorks via COMTEX) -- Man Who Threatened to Bomb Connecticut Company Sentenced to Prison U.S. Attorney's Office December 13, 2012 District of Connecticut (203) 821-3700 David B. Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that SHANEEL JAIN, 56, currently residing in Cumberland, Rhode Island, was sentenced today by United States District Judge Robert N. Chatigny in Hartford to six months of imprisonment, one year of supervised release, and three months of home confinement for threatening to bomb the facilities of a Wallingford company.

On July 23, 2012, a jury found JAIN guilty of one count of making a bomb threat and one count of false information and hoaxes. According to the evidence presented during the trial, Z-Medica Corporation is a Wallingford-based company that produces QuickClot, a medical agent that rapidly stops bleeding outside the surgical setting. QuickClot is used by the United States military and the militaries of some allied countries. On April 23, 2010, JAIN made a series of telephone calls from India to Z-Medica. At the time, JAIN was engaged in a civil lawsuit with Z-Medica based on their prior business relationship. During these phone calls, JAIN threatened to bomb Z-Medica within 24 hours. He also said that he was a terrorist who had done this before and that American law "couldn't touch" him.

As a result of the threat, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Wallingford Police Department, and the Connecticut State Police conducted searches of Z-Medica's facilities. Z-Medica also cancelled shifts, which resulted in an order for QuickClot being delayed. The company also utilized private security for several weeks.

No bomb or other explosive was ever found at Z-Medica.

JAIN was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $12,386.

JAIN has been released on bond since his arrest on March 19, 2012. He was ordered to report to prison on February 8, 2013.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Wallingford Police Department, and the Connecticut State Police. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Neeraj Patel and Jonathan Freimann.
