Two arrested in spate of bomb threats at DCSS middle schools

ALBANY — The Dougherty County School System Police Department placed two juveniles in custody Tuesday related to two bomb threats made at Albany Middle School this week. A similar threat was made later to Robert Cross Middle.

“We take school safety and class disruptions seriously,” DCSS spokesperson J.D. Sumner said. “Parents, please take this opportunity to talk to your students about the repercussions of their actions if they seek to harm others or to disrupt school. And, as always, please call the district if you see or hear of a possible threat against a school or student. You can also send a message through our Facebook account.

“The investigation continues into those threats with those responsible (expected to be) prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
