Zion Police Department Deputy Chief Steve Dumyahn said the 15-year-old Zion-Benton Township High School sophomore was brought to the police station and his parents were furious.
Dispatch started receiving calls, including one from Kansas, the FBI, and Fox News who told Zion they heard it from a caller in Washington.
There is no credibility to the threat. He has no weapons and no access to weapons, he said.
You cant make statements like that because people will take it serious, and you have to. Law enforcement has to take it seriously, said Dumyahn.
The teen has been charged with disorderly conduct, a Class 4 felony.
