Student Arrested for Third Lone Oak Bomb Threat

By Angela Hatton

Paducah, KY – The McCracken County Sheriff's Department has arrested one juvenile today at Lone Oak High School for a bomb threat. Sheriff John Hayden says a 15-year-old female student left the note this morning. Officers arrested the student and charged her with 1st degree terroristic threatening. Hayden says another arrest is possible. This is the fifth false bomb threat at a McCracken County high school in the last few weeks. Police have no suspects in those cases. Hayden says the school system is considering ways to curb the false claims, including adding additional school days at the end of the year for every threat received.
