A 17-year-old former Peotone High School student was arrested Monday night after he threatened to bomb the school.
Kyle Koran, of Monee, is being charged as an adult for a threatening message he posted on Twitter, Peotone Police Chief Bill Mort said.
"Tomorrow I plan on bombing Peotone High School if you are one of my 15 friends don't go to school," the message read, Mort said.
Koran, who was being home schooled this year, deleted the message, but not before police saw it online shortly after 7 p.m. Monday. He called it a joke.
Police searched Koran's home but found no evidence of bombs or weapons, Mort said.
School officials were notified and Peotone police had extra officers on campus Tuesday.
Koran was taken to the Will County Adult Detention Center.
