SMITH COUNTY – Classes were in session as scheduled Tuesday in Smith Center following Monday’s bomb threat, according Smith County Public Information Officer Sharon Wolters.

The juvenile suspect arrested in connection with the threat remained in custody, according to Wolters.

On Monday, a student found a note at Smith Center High School claiming there was a bomb.

No additional details on the threat have been released.

Just after 10:30 a.m., students were evacuated from the elementary and high school buildings. Just after noon, parents were allowed to pick up elementary students.

Smith County Sheriff Bruce Lehman and County Attorney Tabitha Owen were releasing no new information Tuesday.

Smith Center High School was completely searched on Monday afternoon with the assistance of special canine units from the Kansas Highway Patrol, which were dispatched to Smith Center from Topeka, Scott City and Salina, according to Wolters.

“The Smith County attorney has prosecutorial authority and may have to make a decision in the case,” said Wolters.
