SUFFOLK, Va. — The Suffolk Fire Marshal's Office said a boy who attends Lakeland High School faces a charge after he threatened to bomb the school Monday morning.
Police officers and members of Suffolk Fire & Rescue were at the school on Kenyon Road after an administrator called emergency dispatchers to report a threat against the school around 10:55 a.m.
As a result, Lakeland High School was evacuated as police and firefighters investigated.
By 12:25 p.m, members of the Suffolk Fire Marshal's Office found no threat after their search of the school and gave an all-clear. Students were able to their classrooms.
The student accused of making the threat was in custody.
The school received the threat four days after a number of fights in the cafeteria brought police to the school.
The day of the fighting, police said no one was hurt. As a result of it, a spokeswoman for Suffolk Public Schools said the high school was on lockdown for about 1.5 hours.
