WEST FARGO, N.D.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2013 A West Fargo man has been sentenced following a bomb threat involving a daycare in Kindred, North Dakota.<\/p>\n

Cody Michael Weathermon, 37, pleaded guilty Monday, November 2, 2026, in Cass County District Court.<\/p>\n

His convictions include felony terrorizing, two misdemeanor stalking charges, and distributing intimate images without consent.<\/p>\n

Five-Year Sentence After Daycare Threat<\/h2>\n

Weathermon received a five-year sentence for felony terrorizing, according to court records reported by Valley News Live.<\/p>\n

He must serve three years behind bars, followed by three years of supervised probation.<\/p>\n

The court also credited him with 168 days already spent in custody.<\/p>\n

For the three misdemeanor convictions, Weathermon received a 360-day jail sentence, with 168 days of credit.<\/p>\n

Those sentences will run concurrently with his felony sentence, meaning they will not add extra jail time.<\/p>\n

Bomb Threat Targeted Kindred Daycare<\/h2>\n

The criminal investigation centered on a December 18, 2025, bomb threat involving a daycare in Kindred.<\/p>\n

Investigators said the threat was reported to the Red River Regional Dispatch Center.<\/p>\n

The daycare was connected to family members of Weathermon’s former girlfriend’s boyfriend.<\/p>\n

Authorities investigated the threat and checked multiple schools and daycare facilities throughout rural Cass County.<\/p>\n

No suspicious items were found during those searches, according to earlier reports.<\/p>\n

The daycare also canceled operations as a precaution following the threat.<\/p>\n

Months of Stalking and Harassment<\/h2>\n

Investigators described a pattern of harassment targeting Weathermon’s former girlfriend and her boyfriend.<\/p>\n

The behavior allegedly began during the summer of 2025 and continued for several months.<\/p>\n

Court documents described the use of fake identities, multiple phone numbers, and artificial intelligence-generated telephone calls.<\/p>\n

Investigators said these methods were used to contact and threaten the victims.<\/p>\n

The investigation also included the distribution of intimate images without consent.<\/p>\n

Weathermon ultimately pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor stalking charges and one misdemeanor involving those images.<\/p>\n

Additional Charges Dismissed in Plea Agreement<\/h2>\n

Several earlier charges were dismissed under the plea agreement.<\/p>\n

Those included false reporting to law enforcement, harassment of emergency workers, terrorizing by false information, and deceptive writings.<\/p>\n

The court also ordered Weathermon to complete a mental health evaluation.<\/p>\n

He must follow any required treatment recommendations and avoid all contact with the victims.<\/p>\n

The case highlights how a reported threat against a daycare led investigators to uncover a wider pattern of harassment.<\/p>\n
