A Lawrence man has been charged with making a bomb threat earlier this month against a downtown nightclub.

James F. Auten, 26, was charged last week in Douglas County District Court with one count of making an aggravated criminal threat. Prosecutors allege he called in a bomb threat about 1:30 a.m. Nov. 3 that forced evacuation of The Granada, 1020 Mass.

At the time, employees told police they suspected the threat was made by a man who had been kicked out of the club minutes earlier.
