Accident – Death – Obituary News :

A teenager from Tennessee has been identified as a suspect in a series of bomb threats made against San Jacinto High School, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. The threats were reported from March 5 to March 13, prompting deputies to conduct thorough searches of the school premises each time. Fortunately, no bombs were found during these searches, as stated in a recent news release.

Connection to Tennessee

After an extensive investigation, authorities were able to connect a 16-year-old individual from Dyer, Tennessee, to some of the threats that were made against the school. Efforts are now being made to identify the person responsible for the remaining two threats. A report has been forwarded to law enforcement in Tennessee to facilitate the prosecution of the teenage suspect.

Out-of-State Threats

While incidents of threats originating from out of state may not be common, they are not unheard of. In a similar case, youths aged 12, 13, and 14 from Illinois were apprehended in February after students in Florida reported receiving threatening text messages related to shootings and bombings, as reported by Orlando television station Fox/35.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department has refrained from disclosing specific details about how the threats were communicated, whether through phone calls, social media, or other means, as well as the content of the threats themselves.

Incidents on Campus

On the same day when deputies were present on campus due to the bomb threats, two students were taken into custody on charges of battery and resisting arrest following altercations that erupted at the school. Sgt. Deirdre Vickers, a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s department, confirmed these incidents.

As the investigation into the bomb threats continues, parents and students at San Jacinto High School are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. The safety and security of students and staff remain a top priority for law enforcement officials.
