MILLSBORO, Del. (AP) - A 14-year-old boy has been charged with calling in a phony bomb threat that forced the evacuation of a middle school dance.

Delaware State Police say multiple 911 calls came in Friday evening reporting a bomb at Millsboro Middle School.

A school resource officer was on site because of the dance and evacuated the school.



Bomb-sniffing dogs searched the school and found no threat.

Police then determined from where the 911 calls originated and tracked the calls to a 14-year-old in the Oak Orchard area of Millsboro.

The boy was charged with making terroristic threats and released to his parents’ custody.
