The Bonners Ferry Police Department announced
today the arrest of a 12 year old Boundary
County Middle School student in connection with
a handwritten bomb threat that cleared the
school's campus late yesterday afternoon.
On Wednesday, May 14, at about 3:45 pm, officers
from the Bonners Ferry Police Department,
deputies from the Boundary County Sheriff’s
Office and the Bonners Ferry Fire Department
responded to a possible bomb threat at Boundary
County Middle School after school officials were
notified of a handwritten threat on a bathroom
wall.
Students were immediately evacuated from the
school as officials searched lockers, classrooms
and storage rooms for a possible destructive
device. No device was found.
Today, investigators returned to the school and
conducted an extensive investigation into
several students who were considered persons of
interest. Based on physical evidence recovered
at the school, officers identified and arrested
the suspect.
After basic processing by officers, the student
was released to the custody of his parents. The
case will be submitted to the prosecuting
attorney for possible charges of making a false
bomb threat, which is a felony. |
