CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ga. — A teenage girl has been arrested and accused of faking a bomb threat that evacuated a high school in Cherokee County last month.
The anonymous bomb threat caused students at Etowah High School to be released from school around 11:15 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 28.
The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office says their investigators used phone records and spoke to witnesses to identify a 15-year-old suspect.
The girl was arrested on Tuesday and charged with terroristic threats. It is unclear if she was a student at Etowah High School.
She is being held in the Marietta Youth Detention Center without bond.
