MUNHALL (KDKA) ― Four teenagers have been charged in connection with bomb threats at a local high school.
In the past week, there have been multiple threats at Steel Valley High School resulting in evacuations at the school.
Christopher Wiley, 18, is being held in jail on $200,000 bond. Police say he's responsible for 13 bomb threats allegedly made from his cell phone during the past week.
Police say Wiley is not a student at the school, but his girlfriend is one. Investigators think he was trying to get his girlfriend out of school early.
Police traced the threatening calls, matching high school phone logs with subpoened phone company records. The name and address of the subscriber to the phone number was the Duquesne residence where the suspect lived.
The complaint says that Wiley confessed to detectives that a total of 13 threats were recorded from his phone.
He now faces 13 counts of wrecklessly endangering another person and multiple charges, including making terrorist threats, harrassment and risking a catastrophe.
Wiley's girlfriend was arrested along with two other juveniles. They face similar charges and were sent to the Shuman Center.
Munhall Police say Wiley and his girlfriend acted in conjunction with each other. The two juvenile boys were described as copy cats.
Besides phone calls, one bomb threat was found written on the wall of a school bathroom.
