ROSWELL<\/a> — The Roswell Police Department has identified and charged\u00a0a juvenile student they say is responsible for a recent bomb threat.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roswell Police, Fire and area law enforcement partners responded to The Goddard School at 2710 Holcomb Bridge Road regarding\u00a0a reported bomb threat at about 9 a.m. on Nov. 3. The school was evacuated by staff, and swept by the police department’s explosive ordnance detection K9 team who located no suspicious device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through subsequent investigation, Roswell detectives determined that a 13-year-old student from Holcomb Bridge Middle School made a cell phone call to 911 announcing\u00a0a bomb threat, and immediately hung up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of the call, the student was on a Fulton County school bus approaching Holcomb Bridge Middle School. GPS coordinates for the phone at the time the call was made showed a location of the Goddard School, prompting\u00a0the initial police response to that location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further investigation and interviews determined that the student intended Holcomb Bridge Middle School as the target location for their criminal phone call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Roswell Police Department is intentional and emphatic in referring to this as a criminal phone call, in contrast to the student who considered it a ‘prank,'” said Roswell police spokesperson Tim Lupo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The student\u00a0has been charged with terroristic threats, and will be facing administrative consequences at the discretion of the Fulton County School District as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“These types of actions will not be tolerated, regardless of age. Parents are encouraged to have a frank\u00a0discussion with their children about the serious consequences of foolish youthful decisions,” Lupo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[mailerlite_form form_id=4]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
