VERGENNES TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A Lowell teen has been charged for issuing a bomb threat earlier this week.
The Kent County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) says the threat, which targeted Lowell High School, was uploaded Sunday night to Instagram.
We’re told a school resource officer was alerted to the threat on Tuesday morning. Authorities narrowed down the suspect in under six hours.
The 15-year-old boy is not a student at Lowell Public Schools.
Thursday morning, a juvenile petition was authorized for one count of issuing a false report or threat involving a harmful device, according to KCSO.
Deputies wish to remind the public all threats cause disruption and drain resources, adding the department will take all threats seriously.
