A 17-year-old boy who allegedly claimed he forced a school in New Mexico to go into lockdown by posting a threat was recently convicted of making a similar threat in Utah.
BLANDING —
The boy was with friends on Feb. 1 when he "asked the two if they wanted to send a bomb threat to the school on Feb. 7," according to documents from 7th District Juvenile Court. The friends "got scared and asked him, 'Dude, do you need help?' He states he was trying to be funny." The friends said the boy had also "bragged" about posting a threat on social media against a high school in Farmington, New Mexico, forcing the school to shut down on Jan. 17. Police in New Mexico said in January that they had taken the person who posted the threat into custody, but there is no indication in court documents whether the Utah teen was connected to the New Mexico incident.
