More than 700 students, staff and visitors had to be evacuated from Lake Shore High School and cops rushed to the scene because of the March 12 threats, according to the Macomb County prosecutor’s office.
The high school quickly posted a statement to panicked-stricken students and families after the incident, noting the threats had occurred during an elementary school performance, according to the Daily Mail.
‘With the assistance of the Saint Claire Shores Police Department and our staff, the building was immediately evacuated and all in the building left safely from the event,” the school wrote.
Crystal Royster, of Detroit, will also face 18-months probation after pleading guilty to a charge of reporting false bomb threats to Lake Shore High School, authorities said.
Royster, 42, pleaded guilty on Nov. 13 and was sentenced Jan. 8 by Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Michael E. Servitto on the felony offense, which carries a maximum 4-year jail term.
The mom made the two calls after learning her daughter, who had gone home sick that day, would not be permitted to perform as per school policy, authorities said.
She was also ordered to have no contact with the victims, notify the school before entering school grounds, and to take a Class A impulse control class.
“The defendant was sentenced today for making a false bomb report that resulted in a significant emergency response. While the court determined that probation was the appropriate outcome, her actions nonetheless caused disruption and concern within the community,” said Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido, according to the release.
Calls to the prosector’s office, Royster and the school were not returned.
