Man accused of leaving fake bomb outside courthouse held on two $1M bonds

Bond was set Monday for an Omaha man accused of leaving two suspicious packages at the Douglas County Courthouse on Friday afternoon.

A judge set two $1 million bonds, one for the bomb threat and one for drug charges, for 25 year old Thomas Trouba.

On Friday afternoon, a suspect identified as Trouba was seen leaving the Douglas County Courthouse after conducting business. As he left, surveillance video revealed him knocking over a no smoking sign, then proceeding to a parked car facing the wrong way in a construction zone, and then driving down the intersection of 18th and Harney. He then placed two boxes outside the courthouse and drove away.

The area was evacuated and the Omaha Police Department’s bomb squad evaluated the scene. There were no explosives discovered in the boxes.

Prosecutors say a substantial amount of drugs were found in Thomas Trouba’s house and vehicle, along with $414,000 in cash.
