JAY – Police arrested a 16-year-old high school student Tuesday on a felony charge of terrorizing in connection with a bomb threat written on a boys’ bathroom stall at the school. He was placed under house arrest until May 21 when he is scheduled to appear in Juvenile Court in Farmington, police Chief Larry White Sr. said.

It is the sixth bomb threat at the school since Jan. 25 and the seventh in the Jay school system this school year. Police have charged six boys and one girl in the incidents, overall, and are still working on solving threats made on March 6 and 20. To date, four students have been disciplined by school authorities.

The bomb threat was discovered just before school ended for the day Tuesday, and students were sent home, White said.

White, Detective Drew Hufnagel, Sgt. Troy Young and Cpl. Jeff Fournier responded as well as firefighters to the building. No bomb was found, White said.

The teenage boy confessed to making the threat, White said.
