WARREN — A Warren Mott High School student was arrested Oct. 8 and is reportedly facing charges after he allegedly made threats against the school last month.
Warren Consolidated Schools Superintendent John Bernia issued a letter to families informing them of the arrest of a student who allegedly made threats to the school Sept. 23.
“He will be facing serious felony charges,” the letter states. “In addition, we will follow our Student Code of Conduct, which has specific steps we follow in this instance.”
The nature of the threat was not disclosed nor was the student’s name or grade level.
The alleged threat came two days after the school’s homecoming dance ended early on Sept. 21 when students thought they heard gunshots during the evening. After receiving numerous 911 calls, Warren police evacuated the dance although the students didn’t hear gunshots, but balloons popping. The balloons were displayed as decorations for the dance.
Classes at Warren Mott were canceled on Sept. 23, after a number of Warren Mott community members began a “change.org petition” asking for school to be closed the Monday after the dance. Change.org is a website that allows users to create and sign petitions for a specific cause to influence decision-making. That’s when the threat was made to the school.
