An arrest was made after Methuen High School received a bomb threat for the second day in a row on Thursday.
According to the superintendent of Methuen schools, Thursday’s threat was a copycat threat.
The superintendent said the 15-year-old male student wrote a threat on paper using four specific words and left the note in the school.
After the administration found out who the student was, the student admitted he wrote the note because he wanted to get out of school.
The student was then arrested and charged with communication of a bomb threat. He will be arraigned in juvenile court.
The school was not evacuated and the superintended said students were not in any danger.
The Methuen Police Department does not believe Thursday’s incident is at all connected to Wednesday’s threat against Methuen or any of the other Massachusetts schools over the past two weeks.
