The Avoca Police Department reports two A-H-S-T high school students were charged with filing a false police report in connection with the bomb scare at the high school in Avoca on May 1^st. The pair would see jail time if convicted of the class “D” felony. 

Officials say the unnamed high school junior and senior conspired to create the first ever bomb scare at the school district. An eleventh grade male student allegedly wrote the note indicating a bomb would go off at a specific time, and left it in the boy’s bathroom. 

A male senior student phoned 911 reporting the alleged threat from his cell phone. According to A-H-S-T Superintendent Mark Hopkins, the administration is currently reviewing internal procedures and polices for the incident.
