Man arrested for dumping graffiti-covered toilet at LA shopping mall after claiming it was a bomb

What a bad thing to do.

A California man is accused of causing a bomb scare when he left a painted toilet at a mall with a note claiming it was explosive, police said Friday.

Timothy Taratchila, 22, of Burbank, was arrested for making a fake bomb threat after flushing a toilet covered in graffiti at the Americana at Brand mall in Glendale Thursday night.

Police responded to a bomb threat at the mall after the toilet and subsequent notes were found at about 8 p.m

The toilet had at least two skulls painted on it, as well as the word “trial”, according to images released by police.

The mall was immediately evacuated before the LA County Sheriff’s Department bomb squad deemed the restrooms safe about three hours later, according to police.

Taratchila was identified as the culprit after authorities reviewed surveillance footage and spoke with multiple witnesses.
