BEVERLY - Police plan to charge a 15-year-old high school student with calling in the false bomb threat that forced the evacuation of Beverly High School last week.
Detective Jeff Liacos said the student, whom he would not identify because the student is a juvenile, called in the threat on his cell phone after he asked to leave class for a bathroom break.
Liacos, the Police Department's juvenile officer, said he learned the identity of the suspect after the boy boasted to other students about making the threat. Liacos said those students voluntarily came forward with the information.
"He was kind of bragging about it, to his demise," Liacos said. "You have to laud the school population (for coming forward)."
