LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Louisville man was sentenced to over a year in prison after threatening to bomb his former workplace and assaulting federal officers. 

According to court documents, Cameron Hyatt, 30, was sentenced to 1 year and 5 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for one count of providing false information and hoaxes and three counts of assaulting, resisting, or impeding an officer and employee of the U.S. 

Hyatt was also ordered to pay $11,201.70 in restitution.
