Moscow Police arrested a University of Idaho student Wednesday evening for allegedly making a bomb threat on social media.
The Lewiston Tribune reports 18-year-old Will Schimmelman was booked into the Latah County Jail for false reporting of an explosive in a public place, which is a felony.
The FBI notified Moscow police of the bomb threat. Using the social media app Yik Yak, Schimmelman allegedly made a post, saying there was a bomb in the Theophilus Tower on the UI campus.
Police were able to use Schimmelman’s profile on Yik Yak to locate him and arrest him at the FairBridge Inn, where many UI students are temporarily residing. (Lewiston Tribune)
