Update: Davisville Middle School Evacuated Again

Updated Wed, March 30 at 11 a.m.: Police have apprehended a student in connection with Tuesday's bomb threat. According to an email sent out by Superintendent Phil Thornton, the student allegedly admitted to writing threats at Davisville Middle School over the past several months.

Updated Tues., March 29 at 5:35 p.m.: Davisville Middle School students and staff were evacuated Tuesday after Principal Ruthanne Logan found a threatening message on a bathroom stall, according to Superintendent Phil Thornton.

Around 2:20 p.m., the building was cleared, after which students were dismissed from school. The usual dismissal time is 2:30. All after-school acivities were cancelled for the day, "out of an abundance of caution," Thornton said.

According to Logan, the message read "Bomb...2:30," prompting the 2:20 evacuation and the early dismissal.

It is the third time this month DMS has been evacuated. On March 8 and again on March 18, officials cleared the school after reports of a gas smell near the cafeteria. In both instances, the building was quickly cleared and students returned to class.
