Student In Custody For Redwood High School Bomb Threat: Police

LARKSPUR, CA – A student was arrested Friday morning on suspicion of making a bomb threat to Redwood High School in Larkspur last week, authorities said.

A message was left on the school's confidential tip line Sept. 19 stating that there would be a bomb at the campus at 395 Doherty Drive that day, according to the Central Marin Police Authority. The call resulted in a school-wide evacuation and classes were cancelled for the remainder of the day.

Although a phone number masking program was used to leave the voicemail message, further investigation helped detectives identify the suspect, a 17-year-old Tiburon resident, according to the Central Marin Police Authority.

The high school senior was taken into custody at school without incident, police said. He was booked into Marin County Juvenile Hall on suspicion of making terrorist threats, making a bomb threat and possessing a controlled substance.
