Local Woman Charged With Bomb Threat An Overton County woman has been accused of calling in a bomb threat to a food processing plant in Monterey. Brenda Lee Keisling, of Livingston, reportedly phoned Perdue Farms on Friday, Sept. 26 and claimed a bomb was in the plant. Officials at Perdue Farms reported the call to Monterey police officers. The officers then put a trace on the telephone at the plant and determined the threatening call was made from Livingston. Livingston Police Department was then contacted for assistance in the investigation, along with Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. A few days later, Keisling was arrested and detained at Overton County Jail. She has officially been charged with telephone harassment and making false reports. After making bond, she was released, but will have to appear in court at a later date. If convicted of committing the Class E felony, Keisling could face a one to two-year jail sentence and a $3,000 fine. She is said to have a relative who works at the plant. Perdue Farms employs more than 1,000 persons in the Monterey area.
