UPDATE: School Janitor Arrested In Connection With Friday's Bomb Threat

Updated Apr. 1 at 7:15 p.m.

North Kingstown police arrested a custodian from Davisville Middle School today in connection with a bomb threat found at the school.

Charles Smith of North Kingstown allegedly admitted to NK detectives that he wrote the threat on a bathroom wall near the school's gymnasium. School officials called police around 6:30 a.m. this morning after discovering the message. The threat was deemed not credible after NK police, along with a member of the Rhode Island Bomb Squad, reviewed the evidence.

Smith allegedly told police he was upset over some work-related issues at the school, according to a statement released by the NK Police Department this evening. Police determined the threat was written on Mar. 31 sometime after 4:30 p.m.

Smith is charged with a felony count of threatening to place a bomb in a public place or building and was arraigned in Fourth District Court earlier today. He was released on $5,000 personal recognizance and is due back in court later this month.

This marks the third bomb threat at Davisville Middle School this week. A student was apprehended after allegedly admitting to writing one of the threats.

According to Logan, the school has implemented "strict protocols for monitoring hallway and bathroom activity."
