ESSEX, Vt. (AP) - Police in Essex, Vermont, say a juvenile has been issued a citation stemming from threats made toward the local high school.
Superintendent Beth Cobb tells the Burlington Free Press that Essex High School had a heightened police presence on Wednesday after the threats were reported to school officials and law enforcement on Tuesday night.
Police said they determined the threat was a hoax. They did not provide any further information about the nature of the threats.
