A bomb threat was scrawled on a bathroom wall at Byron-Bergen High School today, and two youths have been charged with a felony as a result.
One student is 17 years old and the age of the second suspect was not released.*
Both are charged with falsely reporting an incident in the 2nd degree and conspiracy in the 5th degree.
The two students allegedly conspired in order to get out of school
The older suspect was jailed on $1,500 bail.
*NOTE: while the Sheriff's Office released the name of the first suspect, it is the policy of The Batavian not to identify possible Youthful Offenders who are not at least 18 years old, except for, in our sole discretion, serious crimes. In New York, defendants can be adjudicated a Youthful Offender through his or her 19th year. (We generally identify suspects at age 18 and 19.)
