A man has been arrested and charged with making a bomb threat against a Fort Dodge dental clinic, according to court records.

Robert D. Ulicki, 75, of Lehigh, was charged by Fort Dodge police with threat, explosive or incendiary device and first-degree harassment.

In criminal complaints filed against Ulicki, police wrote, “Defendant mentioned a pipe bomb being placed at Aspen Dental. Defendant stated he knows how to make a pipe bomb to employee of Aspen Dental.”

The apparent threat was made between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. April 14, according to the criminal complaints.

There was no explosion or fire at Aspen Dental, 2953 Fifth Ave. S. The reports give no indication that any explosive or incendiary device was found there.

Ulicki made his initial appearance in Webster County Magistrate Court Tuesday morning.

He waived his right to a preliminary hearing. Action on the harassment charge was continued for 180 days while the more serious threat charge proceeds.
