Virginia Man Charged in White Knoll High Bomb Threat

A 20-year-old Virginia man who is accused of calling in a bomb threat at White Knoll High School Monday was arrested Tuesday in Bristow, Virginia. 

Tyler Hering is charged with communicating a threat to bomb a place of assembly or building, which is a felony in Virginia. He won't be charged with any crime in South Carolina.

Deputies say Hering does not have any ties to White Knoll High School or anyone in Lexington County or South Carolina. They believe he randomly chose the school.

Hering is being held without bond at the Prince William County Adult Detention Center in Virginia.

Students were dismissed at White Knoll High Monday after the bomb threat. The sheriff's department search all buildings on the school grounds, but couldn't find any threat to students or staff.
