A judge this morning issued the German tourist accused of making a bomb threat at Walt Disney World a $10,000 bond.

The judge said the bond is normally set at $5,000, but it is doubled in this case because the suspect, Jochen Naumann, 37, is from out of the country.

Orange County sheriff’s deputies said Naumann, of Leipzig, told Disney employees on Sunday he was carrying two bombs in his backpack.

The Disney employee questioned Naumann and he repeated the bomb threat.

A sheriff’s deputy stationed at the Disney checkpoint secured Naumann and called a bomb sniffing dog to check Naumann’s bag. The dog did not find explosive devices in the bag.

Deputies arrested Naumann and took him to the Orange County Jail.
