A Georgia teenager has been arrested in connection to a series of bomb threats that have been made to several schools in multiple states.

That includes at North Union High School, which was evacuated Tuesday morning after the threat was reported.

According to a release from the Union County Sheriff’s Office, while investigating the incident in Richwood on Tuesday, it was learned that multiple threats had been called into several schools in southern Ohio since May 6.

Federal agents served a search warrant related to the investigation in Minersville, Pennsylvania, which led officials to the suspect in Georgia, who was suspected of making bomb threats in Ohio and several other states.

18 year old Nicholas John Hall was arrested Tuesday on felony counts of making terrorist acts and inducing panic.

The case in Union County remains under investigation.
