TROUTMAN, N.C. — Police say a senior prank ended with a local high school be evacuated after a school resource officer heard a beeping noise inside a locker.
Officers say the unused locker also had a key style lock on it. Β The SRO immediately evacuated South Iredell High School school and a K-9 bomb-detection dog searched the school but did not find anything hazardous. Β
During the investigation, officials found out about a message that was sent on social media about a student doing this as a prank during senior week.
Police were able to determine who sent out the message and who had the key to the locker. Β Once the locker was opened police say they found two alarm clocks set for different times with a ‘Class of 2015’ note inside.
Two students are in ‘investigative detention’ and could possibly be charged with perpetrating a hoax by use of false bomb or other device.
