Teens Charged with December Bomb Threats

Wilkes County Sheriff Deputies have solved two of the recent spate of bomb threats at local schools. Their investigation of the December incidents has taken some time, and included a review of the phone records of several companies. Around mid-February, deputies interviewed two teen-agers, both of whom admitted to making calls to East WIlkes and Wilkes Central High Schools about a week before school got out for Christmas. One of the boys has already been convicted of doing the wasme theing at West Wilkes. Both teens face Juvenile Court proceedings on two felonly counts of making a false report concerning a destructive device. Deputies say their investigation has found that these threats and some similar threats on Wilkes middle schools are not related.
