HESPERIA, Mich. — The Newaygo County Sheriff’s Office says one person was arrested after a bomb threat toward Hesperia Community Schools.

The district and the sheriff’s office were made aware of the threat on Saturday.

That evening, the sheriff’s office and a Michigan State Police K-9 unit searched the school and deemed it to be safe.

Investigators were able to trace the threatening social media post to a 21-year-old former student who lives in Oceana County.

The sheriff’s office got an arrest warrant for the woman Tuesday and took her into custody for false report/threat of terrorism— a 20-year felony.

The woman’s identity has not been released as she has yet to be arraigned.
