Bomb Threat / Arrest

On February 10, 2016 the Laurel Middle/Senior High Schools were notified of a possible “Bomb Threat”. The Laurel Police Department as well as Delaware State Police units responded to the schools and both schools were evacuated. During the evacuation, officers conducting the investigation were able to locate where the threat had originated from. Officers made contact with the occupants of the residence and were able to not only locate the phone that the threat was made on, but also the name and location of the person who made the threat. Officers arrested a 13 year old Male from Laurel, DE and charged him with one felony count of Terroristic Threatening Cause to Evacuate Building, Place, School, Daycare, or Long Term Care Facility. The 13 year old was arraigned by JP Court #2 and released to his grandmother with a future court date.
