Erath student allegedly confesses to writing bomb threat note

An Erath High student allegedly confessed to the Erath High administration for writing the bomb threat note on the wall in the Erath High gymnasium bathroom.
The student’s name has not been released, and as of 10:50 a.m., it is unknown if charges were filed against the student.
The bomb threat happened Wednesday morning after a student walked into the boy’s bathroom in the gym and saw writing on the wall.
The note allegedly said, “F...this school, I want to blow it up.”
The student reported the note to the Erath administration.
The students in Erath Middle School and EHS evacuated the schools, and the Sheriff’s Department and Erath Police were called in.
The two law enforcement agencies searched the schools with bomb-sniffing dogs, but no bomb was located. As a result, the students did not have to go back to class and were dismissed from school that afternoon.
This is the third year that Erath High and Erath Middle have had bomb threats.
In 2020, someone older than 10 years old was arrested and charged with one count of communicating false information about a planned bombing in the town of Erath. The student allegedly left the bomb threat note on the school bus.
Erath schools had another bomb threat in May of 2021. A note was also left.
