FISHERS, Ind. — Two teenagers have been arrested for threatening Riverside Jr. High School in Fishers.
The Fishers Police Department says on Wednesday afternoon, a 13-year-old girl was arrested and charged with intimidation, after she made a verbal threat to the school. Investigators say there was no credible threat, but the girl was still charged with the felony. Police are not saying what exactly the girl said when she made the threat, but Police Chief Tom Weger says the prosecutor’s office “felt that a felony criminal charge was appropriate.”
Then, on Thursday afternoon, a 13-year-old boy was arrested for making a threat to the same school. Police say the teenager mentioned something about a bomb, but investigators quickly found there was no credible threat. Police add that Thursday’s incident was completely independent from Wednesday’s threat. He has been charged with false informing, a level 6 felony.
