Eighth-grader Admits to Milford Bomb Threats

Posted
MILFORD – An eighth-grade Milford School student admitted Monday to several recent threats found written inside the school by officials.

Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department deputy Dalis Owens was contacted by Milford School officials Monday in regards to information relative to the recent threats received at the school.

School personnel had examined a video obtained from inside the school identifying a student.  Owens, also the Wawasee school resource officer, contacted Milford Town Marshal Rich Miotto, who has also been investigating the recent rash of threats to the school.

Permission was obtained by the parents of the eighth-grade male to interview the student, who later admitted to writing a threat Monday, as well as two previous threats in a school bathroom.

Owens stated information obtained will be forwarded to the Kosciusko County Prosecutor and Probation Offices for further review as well as the Wawasee School Corporation.
