Student Arrested Following Bomb Threat at Walled Lake Northern

Updated 1 p.m. For the second time in a week, Walled Lake Northern High School has received a bomb threat.

According to the Oakland Press, the school received the threat just before 10:30 a.m. this morning.

In a letter home to parents, Principal Greg Diamond stated the threat was similar to one left last Thursday on a bathroom wall.

The letter states:

Dear Walled Lake Northern Parents and School Community,

Unfortunately, I’m writing to let you know there was a second threat made today, similar to the one last week.

Fortunately, with the assistance of the security cameras and a thorough investigation, the student, has been identified, confessed to both incidents and is in the custody of the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department.

As I mentioned previously, we will prosecute to the full extent of the law. Walled Lake Schools and Northern High School administration takes all threats seriously working cooperatively with local law enforcement officials.

Please have a conversation with your student about the dangers of making a threat and the significant disruption this causes others.

As always, we are doing everything possible to ensure the safety of our students and school community.  If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Greg Diamond

Principal
