Correction: Single youth facing hoax call charges

March 26, 2013 |
Initial reports that there were two separate
suspects in the bomb threat incidents called in
to the sheriff's office last Monday and Tuesday,
along with reporting that one of the suspects
was from southern Idaho, were incorrect.
In speaking both to Sheriff Greg Sprungl and
Chief Deputy Rich Stevens, there is a single
suspect who has admitted to placing both calls,
and the location the calls were placed from has
not been released.
"All we stated is that the youth was not a
student or affiliated in any way with Boundary
County public schools," Stephens said. "We have
a single juvenile suspect who admitted making
both calls. Because he is a juvenile, there is
little information we can release, but we did
want to clear this up."
The report on the investigation has been sent
the the prosecutor's office and assigned to
deputy prosecutor Tevis Hull, who is out of
office until Thursday as he is handling a case
this week in Bonner County.
"Tevis and I both reviewed the file over the
weekend, and charges will likely be filed later
this week," prosecutor Jack Douglas said. "For
right now, I am not releasing any additional
information."
On an unrelated note, a 15-year-old girl has
been arrested and placed in juvenile detention
in Spokane for a hand-written bomb hoax at
Central Valley High School, which forced that
school's evacuation Wednesday, March 20.
According to investigators, the girl, whose name
has not been released, admitted to to the hoax,
saying she wasn't prepared for a class
assignment that day. She is facing unspecified
felony charges. |
