Trumbull High Bomb Threat Ends In Arrest: PD

TRUMBULL, CT — A former Trumbull High School student was arrested after he posted a bomb threat towards the school on his Facebook page, according to police.

Police received two complaints about the post Wednesday evening. Rushab Momaya, 23, a 2011 graduate said he would bomb the school, but didn't include any details, said Lt. Keith Golding, police spokesman.

Police and Trumbull fire marshals went to Momaya's residence and quickly determined the threat wasn't credible and that there were no explosive materials at the premises.

"Police and Fire officials also worked closely with the Board of Education and school security personnel to ensure that the safety and security of Trumbull High School had not been breached during this incident," Golding said.

Momaya was charged with second-degree harassment, second-degree threatening and breach of peace. He is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.
