A Norfolk-area sailor has been indicted on six counts of making bomb threats in August, targeting Norfolk Naval Station and Joint Expeditionary Base, Little Creek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boatswain\u2019s Mate 2nd Class (SW) Allante Martanaze Arrington, 24, was arrested Sept. 22 and appeared in U.S. District Court in Norfolk before being released on his own recognizance. He will be arraigned on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The case is being handled by civilian authorities, but the Navy Criminal Investigative Service is \u201csupporting the local law enforcement agency conducting the investigation with whatever resources we can offer,\u201d NCIS spokesman Ed Buice told Navy Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrington, originally from Ohio, joined the Navy in May 2014 and has been assigned to the Little Creek-based dock landing ship Oak Hill for just over three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
