A 16 year-old Riverside High-School student was arrested this morning and charged for making a bomb threat earlier this week.

The suspect was arrested after Wednesday’s bomb threat to the Riverside West Campus in Wathena Kansas.

Wathena Police Chief Raymond Hall says the student was arrested at 10:30 this morning after an investigation into the threat.

Chief Hall says the threat was written on the bottom of a note found in the hallway of the school. A student found the note and turned it over to the principle which led to the evacuation and investigation.

While Hall says there may not of been any intent to follow through with the threat, he says it has to be taken seriously.  Being a juvenile, the suspects name will not be released.
