A 16-year-old male student at Division Avenue High School was arrested on Wednesday morning for allegedly calling in a bomb threat to the school on Monday.

According to Detective Francis Como of the Eighth Squad, the student called Nassau County Police 911, stating "I am bombing the school." Detective Como said that this call was made from one of the two pay phones next to the gym doors outside the cafeteria at Division Avenue High School. He added that the school was searched by the police following the threat but nothing was found.

Como said that the Eighth Squad conducted an investigation and with the help of witnesses were able to make the arrest.

At this point, according to Como, there are no plans to appeal to a judge to search the student's home, because the police believe that this was just a threat without the student having any intention of following through with the threat.
