SAN JOSE (BCN)— A man who allegedly reported a bomb threat that prompted the evacuation of San Jose police headquarters this morning has been arrested, a police spokesman said.
   
Jose Lopez, 51, of San Jose, is suspected of calling in the threat, which was later determined to be unfounded, police Officer Albert Morales said.
   
Around 9:20 a.m., someone who called 911 to the police communications center sounded intoxicated, rambled to a dispatcher and stated a bomb was at the Police Department, but didn't specify which one, police Officer Albert Morales said.
