As reported by The Independent, the press release added that Mr Miller called a 911 dispatcher on March 18 in New Jersey saying that "he was on Amtrak Train 2256 traveling from Washington D.C. towards Penn Station in New York City, and that a female passenger has a bomb in her bag."
The press release also stated, an attendant on TJ Miller's "actual train" said that he "appeared intoxicated upon boarding in Washington, that he consumed multiple drinks on the train, and that he had been removed in New York owing to his intoxication.

The 36-year-old actor was released on a $100,000 bond on Tuesday. If found guilty, he faces up to five years in jail.
