Police have arrested and charged a student at Green Hills School in connection with a suspected bomb threat left in the seventh grade bathroom yesterday, the Bristol Police Department stated in a news release.
The Bristol mayor’s office posted Wednesday on its Facebook page that there was another bomb threat at Green Hills. The posting from the mayor indicated that school officials were notified Wednesday afternoon of a bomb threat left in the seventh grade bathroom at the school, which was evacuated at that time. Although the posting indicated there was no perceived threat, buses were delayed.
Police said in the release that “there was no actual threat and no bomb team response was requested.” By the end of the school day, students left in an “orderly fashion,” the release stated. Police also said in the release that a student was found as a suspect, and was charged as a juvenile with second degree breach of peace and first degree threatening.
Police added that patrol units will have increased presence and will perform additional checks of the schools over the next several days, according to the release.
