Arrest Made For Threats At Concord-Carlisle High

CONCORD (WBZ) ― Concord Police arrested 18-year-old Gregory Collison Friday night for leaving threatening notes at Concord Carlise High School.
 
He's charged with two counts of a threat involving a deadly device, and two counts of disturbing a school assembly.

After school activities were cancelled Friday night, including a fundraiser for cancer research.

About half of the students at Concord Carlise High School did not show up for class Friday.

Two threats in one week sparked a massive security response.

Police with bomb sniffing dogs swept the school before students arrived in the morning.

Students had to carry their books because no backpacks or bags were allowed, and everyone entering the building had to walk through a metal detector.

"We take every threat seriously," said Concord deputy police chief Barry Neal.

The first threat was found Tuesday, but didn't illicit this kind of a response.

The one found in a bathroom Thursday did.

School principal Peter Badalament said there were two reasons.

"One is the fact that we're seeing a pattern with this and two, there was, without getting into detail, it just upped the ante in terms of the significance of it."

Parents who did allow their kids to go to school had mixed emotions.

When asked if she was nervous for her freshman son, one woman admited, "a little bit."

But, Angela Healy wasn't worried.

"I do feel my child is safe," she said.

"I think if there was a real threat, the child would not have written something on the wall."
