2001 Student arrested in connection with bomb threat investigation By Paula Reed Ward Morris News Service Information spreading throughout Pooler and the Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools system led police Wednesday night to execute search warrants on the homes of 11 West Chatham Middle School students. That information led to the arrest of one male student who was charged with possession of a firearm by a minor.
Additional charges are pending.
No other students were taken into custody. Chan said of the aggressive policing. The search warrants were specifically looking for any items relating to bombs, bomb making or other incendiary items. Police also found computer downloads of newspaper articles about school shootings from around the country. That student was believed to be 14 years old and an eighth grader at the school.
