The Vigo County School Corporation said Thursday the student has been charged with false informing, a level 6 felony, following the threat at Otter Creek Middle School. A news release issued by Superintendent Danny Tanoos says no students or staff members were in danger at any time.
Tanoos says the school corporation plans to ask that the student to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
