SAN ANTONIO — A woman suspected of threatening to blow up the Bexar County Jail Monday afternoon was arrested later in the evening after returning to the facility for a visit, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

Jail records show that Alani Ortiz, 23, faces a false alarm or report charge, a Class A misdemeanor.

Ortiz had initially gone to the jail around 1 p.m. on Monday to visit an inmate, but was turned away for wearing “inappropriate clothing” that violated jail visitation rules, the affidavit said.

After being asked to leave, Ortiz allegedly told deputies “I’m going to blow this (f---ing) place up,” the affidavit said.

Ortiz returned about four hours later and was immediately detained by officers at the front desk, according to the report.

The document said Ortiz told deputies that she did not remember the exact words she used, but did remember saying “blow up.”
