Teenager in custody after Salina bomb threat hoax

Salina Post

SALINA — A 15-year-old Salina Central High School student is in juvenile detention in Junction City for allegedly placing a note in a bathroom at school, saying there were bombs in both Central and Salina South High School Wednesday.

Police Capt. Mike Sweeney said the student told a faculty member he had found a note with the bomb threat in a second-floor boys bathroom Wednesday morning.

He took the teacher to the bathroom, but another student already had found the note and turned it in to the office.

After an investigation by police and staff, it was alleged the student had written the note and placed it in the bathroom.

Captain Sweeney said there is no evidence connecting the student in custody to the other threatening notes and a cellphone with a bullet hole found in an office last month.

The 15-year-old was taken into custody on allegations of criminal threat.
