Two Teens Arrested In Pair Of School Bomb Threats

Newark Advocate

Licking County Sheriff's deputies have arrested two 15-year-old boys in connection with two bomb threats emailed to Watkins Memorial High School on Tuesday and Thursday. The first led to an evacuation, and the second led to a lockdown. Griffin Grover and Conor Colburn are scheduled to appear in court today. Deputies say Colburn, who is not a student, hacked into a student's email account to send the threats. Deputies say the scheme was hatched so that Grover would not have to attend classes.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
