Her alleged accomplice, 24-year-old Hobie Gregory, is scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 20 on misdemeanor resisting arrest.

 

Authorities say Blakemore threatened to detonate explosives at the state park at Emerald Bay on Tahoe's southwest shore on July 26 after leading police on a chase on State Highway 89.
