Police said this week they investigated a bomb threat at Newtown High School on May 4 which they determined to lack credibility and to be a hoax.

However, the student at the school who was found to have made that threat was arrested on two criminal charges and will be seeing a judge at Danbury Juvenile Court, according to police.

Police said that at about noon on May 4, they arrested the student after a written bomb threat note had been found in one of the school’s student restrooms.

The note had been discovered by other students who brought its presence to the attention of school administrators, police said.

The note’s content suggested that it was intended to get another student in trouble, in that the note was signed with an individual student’s name, police said.

Police said that high school staff members soon recognized the penmanship in the note and the student who was then suspected of having written the note admitted to doing so.

Thus, the threat was deemed to be not credible, police said.

The school was not placed under any security mode during the incident, police said.

The student who wrote the note was charged with first-degree threatening and with falsely reporting an incident, police said. Police released the juvenile into the custody of parents. The youth is scheduled to appear in Danbury Juvenile Court on June 1, police said.

Police did not disclose the student’s identity because the person is under age 18.
