A GRAND jury
of the District Court of Guam yesterday charged David Eugene Thomas, 49,
for terrorizing patients and personnel at the Naval Hospital early Friday
morning.
Thomas, a retired military man, was charged with terrorist conduct, disorderly
conduct and entering military naval or coast guard property.
Thomas entered the Naval Hospital at 12:30 a.m. on Friday and announced
that he has weapons and explosives in his backpack, causing hospital workers
to evacuate patients, including those in the intensive care unit and neo-natal
ward.
Prior to the terrorist conduct, Thomas reportedly went to Andersen Air
Force Base and engaged in a fight during a softball game on Wednesday,
causing inconvenience to the public.
Thomas allegedly went to Andersens Subway food chain on Thursday
and created public disturbance when he violently reacted to someone whom
he also threatened violently.
Because of the softball incident, Andresen law enforcers removed Thomas
and ordered the former military man not to reenter the military base.
Thomas, however, violated the order when he returned on April 26 and created
public disturbance at Subway restaurant.
Early Friday morning, he entered the U.S. Navy Hospital and threatened
to shoot one of the security officers.
He also announced that he has weapons and explosives in his backpack,
prompting the hospital employees to panic and evacuated the patients.
