A 12-year-old Bonners Ferry girl has been
charged for a bomb threat made at Boundary
County Middle School January 15.
The Boundary County Prosecutor's Office filed
one count of falsely reporting an explosive
device in a public place on February 19 for
allegedly writing "Bomb 1:00" on a girl's
restroom wall.
The girl, whose name is being withheld pending
adjudication and a finding of guilt, denied
her guilt in an initial appearance in March, and
an adjudicatory hearing has been scheduled for
9:30 a.m. June 13 in Boundary County before
Judge Debra A. Heise.
Heise denied a defense motion to close the case
to the public on March 19.
Were the girl an adult, the charge, a violation
of Idaho Code 18-3313, would be a felony, carrying a maximum
penalty of five years in prison.
In addition to this charge, two other cases have
been filed in the Boundary County Courts, also against juveniles; those cases
remain closed pending an initial appearance by
the accused.
In the last two years, county public schools
have been disrupted by 10 bomb threats, all of
them false. |
