Authorities say an 11-year-Virginia boy is charged in Florida with calling in more than 20 bomb or shooting threats at schools.
Associated Press– An 11-year-Virginia boy is charged in Florida with calling in more than 20 bomb or shooting threats to schools and other places, authorities said Thursday.
“This kid’s behavior was escalating and becoming more dangerous," Staly said. “I’m glad we got him before he escalated out of control and hurt someone.” Flagler County emergency services initially received a bomb threat at Buddy Taylor Middle School on May 14, officials said. Additional threats were made between then and May 22. Flagler County is in central Florida on the state's Atlantic coast.
The boy faces 29 felony counts and 14 misdemeanors, officials said. He's being held in a Virginia juvenile detention facility while Florida officials arrange for his extradition. Investigators didn't immediately say whether the boy had a connection to Florida.
