A 16-year-old female student at Ridgeland High School faces charges for allegedly texting the phrase "blowing the school up" to other students on Thursday morning. The text spread quickly to other students and parents, according to Sheriff Steve Wilson. His department assigned two detectives and nine deputies to the school to investigate the reported hoax. The girl was charged with terroristic threats and acts and was released to her mother around 7 p.m. Thursday. Detectives believe the student's motive was to leave school early. She will appear in juvenile court, according to Wilson.
