BRIDGEWATER, MASS. (WHDH) - A student was arrested and charged after calling in a threat about a bomb onboard a school bus in Bridgewater on Friday, according to state police.
The threat, which was received by Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School and later deemed fake, prompted an evacuation of the bus at a rest stop on Route 24 north shortly before 3 p.m.
After a bomb squad cleared the bus, investigators determined the threat came from a student onboard.
