A man who reports said threatened to blow up the city police station Friday was arraigned Monday in municipal court.

Derrick Haywood, 26, of Woodcrest Avenue, has a preliminary hearing Feb. 18 on a charge of making false alarms. He also was arraigned Monday on an unrelated criminal-trespass charge.

Police were sent to Haywood’s home about 6:20 p.m. Friday after the 911 center received a call from someone threatening to blow up the police station. Haywood was arrested and taken to the Mahoning County jail.
