18-Year-Old Arrested In Alleged Bomb Threat At Huntington Beach School
HUNTINGTON BEACH (AP) — An 18-year-old Southern California high school student has been charged with reporting a false bomb threat after police say he left a note on his teacher's desk warning of an explosive.
Orange County prosecutors said Tuesday that Christopher Michael Casey threatened to detonate a bomb at Huntington Beach High School on Dec. 14, the same day as the shooting at a Connecticut elementary school.
The note was found by a secretary, who called police.
Police searched the school and didn't find any weapons or explosives.
Prosecutors are requesting $250,000 bail.
Casey is to make an initial court appearance Tuesday afternoon.
