TJ Miller: US actor charged over fake bomb threat on train

US actor and comedian TJ Miller has been charged for intentionally reporting a fake bomb threat while travelling on a train, officials say.

Mr Miller, who allegedly called police from the train to report a female passenger with "a bomb in her bag", was arrested in New York on Monday.

The incident, which happened on 18 March, led to the Amtrak vehicle being searched without a device being found.
...
The member of staff said that Mr Miller appeared intoxicated upon boarding in Washington, that he had consumed multiple drinks on the train, and that he had been removed in New York owing to his state of intoxication.

Countless people on the train are brown-bagging 24oz-ers. Straight out of the cooler. That's after they tie one on in one of the bars there. It's a mess.
