15 year old Charged in Paducah Middle School Bomb Threat

By Todd Hatton

Murray, KY – A 15 year old boy will be charged with terroristic threatening over a bomb threat that forced the evacuation of Paducah Middle School earlier this month. On September 2nd, a student reported someone had written the threat on a boy's bathroom wall. The school was evacuated while police and fire department investigators searched the building. No devices were found. Police interviewed a suspect late last week who admitted writing the message on a dare from a friend. The boy was released to his father. Paducah Police Detective Anthony Copeland says authorities will file formal charges this week.
