Airport bomb hoax case plea change
1:57pm Friday 12th March 2010 in
A 26-year-old man alleged to have posted a message on Twitter threatening to blow an airport "sky high" will face face trial, a court has decided.
Paul Chambers denied "tweeting" the message about Robin Hood Airport, in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, on January 6.
Chambers, of Byram Court in Balby, Doncaster, was arrested after the post was picked up on the social networking site by routine investigations.
He pleaded guilty at a previous hearing but on Friday changed his plea to not guilty to a single charge of sending, by means of a public electronic communications network, a message that was grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character.
He will be tried at Doncaster Magistrates' Court later this month.
