Special to Emmaus Patch by Nina Rowan Being a sophomore, I am more than accustomed to walking through the halls of Emmaus High School and hearing rumor upon juicy rumor about classmates, teachers, boyfriends, girlfriends, other schools, and so on. Rumors are a common occurrence in any high school, but rumors about one thing in particular are not quite so common: bomb threats. By now, it’s safe to say that almost everyone living or working within the limits of the East Penn School District has heard about the three bomb threats made at Emmaus High School in the recent months. Within those months, progress has been made. A freshman has been charged with making terroristic threats in regards to the first hoax made on Dec. 20, 2012. …

An Emmaus High School ninth-grader has been charged with making terroristic threats—a third-degree felony—for a Dec. 20, 2012 bomb hoax at the high school, according to Emmaus Police.

Emmaus High School bomb hoaxes aren't funny and could have some very real consequences according to one Emmaus High School senior who says she and her friends aren't laughing about these incidents.
Special to Emmaus Patch By Chrissy Cilento, Emmaus High School Senior I logged onto Facebook Wednesday night and was bombarded with status after status about the third attempted bomb threat on Emmaus High School. My classmates' posts were all pretty much along the same line: "Seriously? Three times? It's not funny anymore." I'll admit -- the first time I got the call that the school would be closed for a bomb threat, I probably wasn't as crestfallen as I should have been... I may or may not have done a small celebratory dance after the call ended and rubbed it in my little brother's face that he had school and I didn't. Now, however, the joke’s getting old. After-school activities are inconvenienced, schedules are out of whack, the …

Crime Stoppers has put up a reward for information on the unsolved bomb threats. That will make chatter start, and with chatter comes eventually who did this. They will find the people that did this and they should be scared, since they already have one person they are charging with the first threat. I have a hard time believing after charging the freshman that anyone would be that stupid to pull… more ›
