Fox 7 News has learned that a juvenile that attends the high school has been arrested in connection with todays bomb threat.
A phoned-in bomb threat got classes off to a slow start Monday morning at Tecumseh High School in Lynnville. The school's secretary heard a bomb threat on the school's answering system when she arrived for work that morning. Sheriff's deputies were called to the school and the Superintendent instructed that all students be kept out of the building. Students were eventually sent to the auditorium to wait as the school was searched. Once the all clear was given students were sent to class in time for the second period session.
Deputies are not releasing the name of the person they arrested, but they say the person is a student at the school who simply called in the threat as a hoax.
Now the suspect will face a felony charge.
