MAQUOKETA HAD 5 FIRST PLACE WINNERS: JUSTICE, SERENITY, TRINITY, JADEN, AND KYE. THEY HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE IF THEIR SCORES WILL ALLOW THEM
TO ADVANCE TO THE NEXT ROUND OF COMPETITION.
MONDAY, SHORTLY AFTER SCHOOL LEFT OUT, THERE WAS A BOMB THREAT
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. IT WAS WRITTEN ON A BATHROOM WALL.
THE NEXT DAY A STUDENT AND FATHER CAME TO THE SCHOOL AND THE STUDENT
DID CONFESS TO THE THREAT. THIS MORNING, IT WAS FIRST THOUGHT
THERE HAD BEEN ANOTHER THREAT AND SO THE HIGH SCHOOL WAS EVACUATED.
BUT FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND THERE WAS NOT A THREAT. THE PROBLEM THIS MORNING DID HAVE TO DO WITH THE SUSPECT OF MONDAY AND HE WAS
ASKED TO COME TO THE LAW CENTER FOR AN INTERVIEW WITH POLICE. THE
MAQUOKETA HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR WAS THEN CHARGED WITH THREAT OF TERRORISM, A CLASS D FELONY AND WILL SEE A JUDGE TOMORROW. THE STUDENT HAS NOW BEEN IDENTIFIED AS IRA LUCKIE JOHNSON, AGE 18, OF MAQUOKETA. HIS NAME WAS RELEASED THIS AFTERNOON BY POLICE CHIEF BRAD KORANDA.
