Warren County High School Threatened Again

For the second straight day, Warren County High School was evacuated after a threat was received at the school on Thursday. Students were kept on campus this time as authorities searched the building.
Later in the day the Warren County Sheriff’s Department made an arrest in connection with Thursday’s bomb threat at Warren County High School.
Sheriff Jackie Matheny said Marlene Madewell, who is a custodian at the school was arrested Thursday, just hours after the school was evacuated for a second straight day.
Matheny said Madewell told investigators she was angry with the Principal when she wrote the threatening message on the walls of a boy’s bathroom. Authorities are still investigating to determine if she was also responsible for the message that prompted Wednesday’s evacuation.
Madewell has been charged with filing a false report. Matheny said she was the one who reported Thursday’s threat. The sheriff said investigators are working to determine if more serious charges can be filed.
Bond for Madewell was set at $30,000.
Police say an 8th grader has confessed to scrawling a bomb threat on a bathroom wall at Warren County Middle School on Thursday. That school was also evacuated. The youngster was taken to the Warren County Sheriff’s Department for questioning.
