Overview
- Devan Sheard, 32, of Joliet, was charged with one count of disorderly conduct — false bomb threat, a Class 3 felony.
- A DuPage County judge ordered Sheard held in custody, with his next court appearance set for January 26 before Judge Daniel Guerin.
- Bomb squads from Westmont and the DuPage County Sheriff searched the Napleton Porsche warehouse and Sheard’s residence and found no explosives or bomb-making materials.
- Authorities say the video shows Sheard in a garage referencing planting IEDs in vehicles and stating, “I’m planting the IED as we speak.”
- State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said the alleged hoax frightened employees and the community and squandered taxpayer-funded law enforcement resources.
