VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — The Volusia Sheriff’s Office has arrested a 15-year-old after he sent text messages revealing he would bring a bomb to DeLand High School.

According to deputies, the teenager sent those threats out of anger and had no intentions of carrying them out.

This arrest is one of many this year in the Volusia County area, including last week, when a teen was arrested for threatening to shoot a middle school.

The 15-year-old was charged with making a bomb threat and unlawful use of a communication device.
