Juvenile Arrested at Service High School for school threat investigation

 Through the investigation it was determined the post on social media was made by a Service High student. The suspect was contacted and interviewed.

 It was ultimately determined there were no bombs brought to the school nor did the student take any additional steps after posting the photo to hurt anyone. Charges for the student have been forwarded to the Department of Juvenile Justice.
