HARVEY COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding a bomb threat note left in a classroom at Newton High School on Thursday and have made an arrest.

Police provided enhanced security Friday morning at the school, according to Newton police Lt. Mike Yoder. “We are taking the necessary precautions in conjunction with USD 373,” he said.
