MONTGOMERY, IL — A day after Oswego police reported an unrelated email threat at Thompson Junior High, officials say a Montgomery boy is charged in connection with two new incidents at the school. Police said the boy, 13, was arrested Friday afternoon at the school, 440 Boulder Hill Pass, after reported disorderly conduct incidents that happened Thursday and Friday morning.

In both incidents, police say witnesses reported hearing the student make verbal threats to harm a school administrator. Oswego police and District 308 officials identified the student in question as a teen from Montgomery.
