What felony class applies to making a false bomb report?

• A. Class H felony
• B. Class A felony
• C. Class D felony
• D. Class G felony

Answer: (A)

Classification of offenses by felony class is based on how the statute assigns punishment for the misconduct, balancing the harm caused and the need to deter dangerous actions. Making a false bomb report is treated as a serious misuse of emergency resources because it endangers people, disrupts operations, and wastes responders’ time. In this jurisdiction, that offense is designated as a Class H felony, placing it into a felony category with substantial penalties to reflect the risk and disruption involved. The specific class reflects the lawmakers’ judgment about the level of danger and deterrence needed for bomb-hoax activity, which is why this is the correct designation here. Other classes exist for different crimes or different severities, but they don’t apply to this false bomb reporting offense under this statute.
