Students arrested for last week's bomb threats
By Molly Blancett KVAL News and KVAL.com Web StaffEUGENE, Ore. - Police on Saturday arrested two teen cousins in connection with recent bomb threats at three private religious schools in the Eugene area. One of the boys is a 16-year-old Marist Catholic High School student who lives in Eugene and the other boy is a 13-year-old student at O'Hara Catholic School who lives in Springfield, police said. The suspects were each being held at Lane County's juvenile detention center on nine counts of first-degree disorderly conduct. According to police, both were having trouble in school and wanted to get out of class. At this point, police said there is no reason to believe they were ever going to hurt anybody. Eugene police spokeswoman Melinda Kletzok said police and the FBI did not find any explosives near the suspects. Police would not say how they linked the boys to the threats. They were arrested about 1:30 p.m. at a Eugene home, police said. Because the two suspects are juveniles, they will not face federal charges, even though the notes and phone calls were directed toward religious institutions. The threats this past week canceled classes for three days at O'Hara and Marist and two days at Life Lutheran School at Grace Lutheran Church. |
