SARATOGA SPRINGS, Utah (AP) — Saratoga Springs police have arrested a Utah teenager in connection with a bomb threat at a Utah high school this week.
They arrested the 16-year-old Thursday about 5:00 p.m.
Investigators say the boy has a history of making threats similar to the one he issued to his former high school earlier in the week.
Authorities aren't releasing his name because he is a minor. They say he is a former student at West Lake High School who has in prior instances taken to Facebook to threaten violence on schools, law enforcement officers and others.
City spokesman Owen Jackson says local and federal investigators tracked him down in part by using Facebook.
They found no explosives in his home. KSL-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1qwNH8k) that he is in jail and police are not looking for other suspects.
