There is new information on threats that had police called into action two times last week at schools in Lycoming County.

School officials went so far as to dismiss students early for one of those threats.

In the most recent threat at a middle school near Williamsport, police said a student is in a heap of trouble for allegedly writing that bomb threat on a bathroom wall.

Even though they might be empty threats, officials said the threat-makers will end up paying a price for causing so much concern for everyone’s safety.

The early dismissal at Hughesville Junior Senior High School was no drill Thursday. Other schools in the East Lycoming School District let out early too because school officials said someone threatened the safety of students and staff.

At the time, school officials said dismissing students was a precaution. Still, the question of whether or not the threat was real or a hoax meant officials had to take action.
