Verona, N.Y. - A Madison County student has been arrested after authorities say he made a threat on a school bus Friday.
Around 3:20 p.m., Oneida County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a report of threat on a bus from the Madison Oneida BOCES at 4937 Spring Road, according to an Oneida County Sheriff’s Office post on its Facebook page Monday.
When officers arrived, they found the threat not credible, deputies said.
The student - who was from Madison High School - was arrested and charged with making a threat of mass harm and later met with Oneida County Juvenile Probation.
Making a threat of mass harm is a misdemeanor.
Madison High School is in Madison County; the BOCES facility is in Oneida County.
