SCOTTSBURG, Ind. – A 15-year-old Scottsburg High School Student was arrested on Monday after he allegedly called in a bomb threat to the school.
Around 9:45 a.m., State Police say that school authorities were alerted to a possible bomb threat when a student received a text stating a bomb had been placed in a school locker. School officials immediately evacuated the building and alerted police. After utilizing bomb-sniffing dogs to search and clear the building, police determined that the threat was a hoax.
State police and school resource officers were able to later determine that the text message was associated with a 15-year-old Scottsburg student who was questioned by authorities. As a result of the investigation the student was arrested and taken to the Clark County Juvenile Detention Center.
