Bomb threats were made against Linnie Roberts Elementary School and Bay City Junior High School. A man by the name of Paul Nolen May (a former substitute teacher) was arrested after he was recorded buying the prepaid cell phone that was used to make some of the calls, he did many handwriting analysis exams and it was found that he did not write the threatening letters.
