A Southeast Bulloch High School student was charged with terroristic threats and disrupting a public school after allegedly making a verbal threat to a Southeast Bulloch Middle School student while riding a school bus Friday morning.

According to an email from Hayley Greene, director of Public Relations for Bulloch County Schools, administrators from both the middle and high school investigated initial reports of the threat.

“Multiple students reported the incident to administrators and provided written statements for the investigation,” Greene wrote in the email. “School resource officers thoroughly searched the high school student, the bus, and associated classrooms using a K-9 unit. No weapons were found.”

Greene said school resource officers then requested that a Bulloch County Sheriff's patrol unit come to the school. The high school student in question was taken into custody and transported to the Bulloch County Jail.

“In accordance with the school district's Code of Conduct, any threat through written or verbal language or act which creates a fear of harm and/or conveys a serious expression of intent to harm or violence without displaying a weapon and without subjecting the victim to an actual physical attack requires a mandatory report to law enforcement,” Greene wrote in the email.
