Teen arrested for alleged bomb threats targeting Tumwater High School football game

A teenager is in police custody after allegedly threatening a high school football game in Tumwater. FOX 13's Sam Campbell live outside Tumwater High School with what we know so far this morning. Sam. Well, Taylor, good morning. And yes, as you can see and hear behind me, there is now an elementary school football game going on. And we've been talking with parents who are showing up with their children just 12 hours after those stands right there were completely emptied. Now, the 14-year-old that you mentioned is now in custody with Thurston County Youth and Family Services, facing real consequences for alleged behavior in the digital world that, again, just 12 hours ago resulted in this field being empty. Police say that they posted a threat on social media yesterday afternoon, and then that teen soon went on the run. It took police six to seven hours to find that teen, with Tumwater Police updating the community on Facebook around 1 a.m. that they'd found the suspect. A family member helping a school resource officer to track them down. The threat was credible enough that Tumwater School District called off its rivalry game. Kickoff in the Pioneer Bowl with Black Hill High School was set for 7 p.m., but instead, players and fans were told to stay home. Now, Tumwater police do not expect any further arrests in this case, but we are also learning about another incident in the area that resulted in another high school football match being canceled. Now, we'll have more on that, but for now, live in Tumwater, Sam Campbell, Fox 13 News.
