AMITYVILLE, N.Y. (AP) ―
A Long Island student is accused of calling bomb threats in to his high school and one other.
Suffolk County police say they arrested the 18-year-old Massapequa resident on two charges of falsely reporting an incident. The teenager is a senior at Amityville (AM'-it-ee-vill) High School.
Police say a first bomb threat was called in to Copiague (COH'-payg) High School, which was evacuated and searched, with no bomb found. A similar call was made to Amityville High School, which also was evacuated and searched with nothing found.
A telephone message left at a number listed for the teenager's family wasn't returned. Another number was busy.
