Schools receive bomb threats; police arrest 13-year-old girl



Sharon police arrested a 13-year-old city girl accused of making a bomb threat at the Sharon High-Middle School Wednesday while Sharpsville police are investigating a bomb threat in the schools there.
The Sharon seventh-grader is accused of writing a note on a napkin saying a bomb would go off in the school today. The napkin was found in a girls restroom around 3 p.m. shortly after school had been dismissed for the day.
Police said the girl is being held in a juvenile detention facility on charges of threatening to use a weapon of mass destruction, making terroristic threats and making a false alarm.
Nothing found
The building was searched, but nothing was found, and classes were scheduled as normal today.
