"There's gonna be three bombs. There [is] going to be a bomb at the Broward County Courthouse. That is going to be in Fort Lauderdale, Florida," she said on the call. "There is going to be a bomb on Exit 21, Hollywood Boulevard, the police station right across from Target."

She then added that, "The last bomb will be at the Joe DiMaggio Memorial Hospital., the mental health ward unit, right across from 833 North Rainbow Drive Hollywood, Florida, 33021."

When asked by the 911 operator how she knew this information, Bernard hung up the phone.

After she was taken into custody, it was learned Bernard had also posted threats on her Instagram account, the report said.

"There's too many hospitals and police stations to shoot up so Hollywood PD and the Broward Sheriff's Office will be shot up first," she posted, according to the report. "I'll find their families and wipe them off the face of this earth, not the children though."

Bernard was booked into jail, where she was being held on $20,000 bond Wednesday, records showed. Attorney information wasn't available.
