(KNZA)--A September 4th preliminary hearing has been set for an Ohio man charged in May’s bomb threat at Highland Community College.
The Kansas Chief reports 21-year-old D’Vonte Guyton was recently transported by the Doniphan County Sheriff’s Department to Troy after waiving extradition.
He faces a felony charge of aggravated criminal threat.
The bomb threat, which was received by telephone on May 9th, 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.
Police were able to ping the phone number, tracing it to an address in North College Hill, Ohio. Guyton later turned himself in to North College Hill Police.
HCC officials say he was an on-line student at the college at the time.
Guyton remains in the Doniphan County Jail, held on a $450,000 bond.
