On Dec. 12, a threat of violence was found written on a bathroom stall at Ben Franklin Junior High School leading to school cancellation the next day. Additional threats found at SPASH on Dec. 13 led to its early dismissal. On Dec. 18, a bomb threat led to the swift arrest of a 17-year-old male as well as charges against a 15-year-old male as a party to the crime.
