YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - A woman with recent addresses in Youngstown and Canfield is being held in the Mahoning County jail, accused of emailing threats that resulted in the shut down of steel making operations at Vallourec Star.

Federal agents arrested twenty-seven-year old Rakieda Cheatham as they searched her Broadview Avenue home in Youngstown on Friday.

According to an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court, an FBI special agent believes that Cheatham made harassing phone calls and sent threatening emails to three Vallourec managers after her employment ended at the plant in late February when the temporary project she had been hired for had concluded.

On March 27, 2015, Cheatham allegedly sent several emails to the three Vallourec employees. Two of them made reference to bombs. One of the emails with the subject line “Children” read, “I will slit your kids throats.”

The emails prompted security at Vallourec to shut down operations of its Youngstown plant for three hours, causing the evacuation of 653 workers.

At the time, authorities brought in a bomb sniffing dog to sweep the plant property until it could be determined that there was no danger.

Cheatham faces a detention hearing before a federal magistrate on Monday.

She faces possible charges of making threatening and false communications.

The affidavit says that Cheatham was convicted of soliciting prostitution in Alliance, Ohio last year.
