(KNZA)--An Ohio man charged in May’s bomb threat at Highland Community College has pleaded no contest to a felony charge of criminal threat.
D’Vonte Guyton entered the plea Wednesday in Doniphan County District Court to the amended charge.
He had originally been charged with a felony count of aggravated criminal threat.
Sentencing was set for the afternoon of October 1.
The bomb threat, which was received by telephone on May 9, led to the evacuation of the Highland campus and to the postponement of finals for students.
No explosive device was discovered following a search of the campus and its buildings by law enforcement.
Authorities were able to trace the call to an address in North College Hill, Ohio. Guyton, who was an on-line student at Highland, later turned himself in to police.
