A teenager is accused of threatening to detonate a bomb at the high school in Thorndike on Tuesday.

The Waldo County Sheriff’s Office says Mount View middle and high schools were evacuated around 1 p.m. Tuesday after a handwritten bomb threat was found in the high school.

A second threat on Wednesday and another from March of 2024 were linked to the one found Tuesday.

After an investigation, police arrested a 16-year-old student and charged them with terrorizing.
