Ky. Boy, 13, Charged With Threatening Bush

Thursday March 30, 2006 9:31 AM


FLORENCE, Ky. (AP) - A 13-year-old boy who authorities originally said threatened President Bush actually made the threat against a school, not the president, police said.

Police Capt. Linny Cloyd said Tuesday that the teen was being investigated for making threats against Bush, the city of Florence and a school in e-mails sent to the mayor. Bush is scheduled to travel to nearby Cincinnati next week.

On Wednesday, Cloyd told the Cincinnati Enquirer the student did not make a direct threat against Bush. Instead, the teen is charged with terroristic threatening for the alleged threat against the school, Cloyd said Wednesday.

The teen remains in custody of his mother in Florence.

The investigation began after Mayor Diane Whalen received an anonymous e-mail containing the alleged threats, Cloyd said. A second e-mail was also sent to Whalen, he said.

Cloyd went to the teen's home Monday night with agents from the FBI and Secret Service. He said the boy's parents consented to the search, during which a computer was seized.

Investigators did not find anything to make them think he was planning to carry out the threats, he said.
