Arrest made after threats close B.C. school, force grad ceremony postponement
NELSON, B.C. — A male student has been arrested after threats forced the evacuation of a high school in southeastern British Columbia.
Nelson RCMP said they received reports last Thursday about a possible threat to Mount Sentinel Secondary in South Slocan, about 25 kilometres west of Nelson.
Officers arrived at the school to find a student being detained by school officials and took him into custody, police said.
Officials evacuated the school and decided to postpone graduation ceremonies set for the weekend and cancel classes on Monday.
