Bomb Threats At RivCo School Lead To TN Teen, More Suspects Sought

SAN JACINTO, CA — An investigation into multiple bomb threats this month at San Jacinto High School led to the arrest of a Tennessee teenager, though more suspects are sought, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.

The threats were received between March 5 and 13 at the campus located at 500 Idyllwild Drive in San Jacinto.

The 16-year-old Dyer, Tennessee, teen was not identified due to age.

"A report was taken and forwarded to the proper authorities in Tennessee for prosecution," the sheriff's department said.

Investigators are looking for additional suspects responsible for two other SJHS bomb threats, the department reported. No suspect information was released.

For each threat received at the school, San Jacinto Sheriff’s Station deputies, along with the sheriff’s Hazardous Device Team, searched the campus but found no suspicious devices.

While no one was hurt and no devices were found, the threats disrupted the campus and resulted in the use of considerable law enforcement resources.

"The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office has a zero-tolerance policy for these offenses," the agency said. "When these suspect(s) are identified, they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Deputy Cantlope at the San Jacinto Sheriff’s Station: 951-654-2702.
