TOPSHAM, Maine — A 15-year-old girl has been charged with terrorizing in connection with a threatening note issued at Mount Ararat High School on Thursday.
The girl, who lives in Bowdoinham, has a May 2 court date, according to a statement from Topsham police.
The girl’s name was not disclosed because she is a juvenile.
Police believe the teen acted alone and “the uncertainty of the incident for the high school has now been resolved.”
Topsham police and Mount Ararat officials investigated the matter. Police were able to identify the suspect from an anonymous source. The statement said the note did not involve any threat of a bomb or other explosives.
Terrorizing is a Class C crime punishable by up to five years in prison.
