May 29, 2018

Jay High School and Jay Elementary School were evacuated Tuesday afternoon due to a a bomb threat against the high school, and a student has been arrested.

About 1 p.m., a Jay High School school resource officer was notified by school staff of a bomb threat, and additional deputies responded to the school.

“A text message was received by another student in which the sender advised of a bomb threat to the school. After a thorough investigation and within 30 minutes, a suspect was in custody,” said Sgt. Rich Aloy, public information officer for the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office.

“The threat was unfounded and the individual who sent the text was discovered to be a student who was supposedly playing a joke,” Aloy said.

The juvenile suspect was arrested on charges of making a false bomb threat and disruption of a school function. The SRSO has not yet released the suspect’s name.

    Parents dont teach their kids consequences for decisions, so they do what they want expecting nothing to happen….

    I hope that whoever did it is punished so severe that him, nor anyone else ever even thinks about doing something so stupid and inconsiderate. There’s enough for us to worry about than some quack getting off on calling fake bomb threats. A person who thinks that there’s anything comical about a bomb threat needs serious mental help, not a slap on the wrist
