Student Charged in Bristol Central High School Bomb Threat

Bristol police have arrested a 15-year-old student in connection with a bomb threat at Bristol Central High School on Oct. 9.

The school was evacuated after someone found a note on a desk saying a bomb would go off in the school, police said, and firefighters and the bomb squad were called in.

The building was determined to be safe, the investigation began and a juvenile was charged with first-degree threatening and breach of peace.

This was the latest in a string of  bomb threats at Bristol schools.

In September, police increased their presence at Bristol schools and arrested a student after the message "bomb school" was written on a bathroom wall at Greene-Hills School.

In June, two 10-year-olds and a 13-year-old were arrested in connection with a string of school bomb threats in the city. The arrests came after eight bomb scares over a span of nine days.
