Felton, DELAWARE

Jury finds her NOT GUILTY.

Nov 29, 2007 - Caroline Fluman, 46, a Lake Forest High business teacher, was charged with a felony count of terroristic threatening.

According to police and court reports, Ms. Fluman approached a state police detective shortly after 9:45 a.m. Nov. 1 with a computer-printed note that read, “bomb in school everyone dies.” The school was evacuated. Three more notes showed up, including a handwritten one hidden near a garbage can outside the school store reading.

Cpl. Barnett said state police reviewed the school’s video camera system, which he said showed Ms. Fluman placing a note behind the trash can.

Delaware State Education Association president Barbara Grogg said she has never heard of a teacher making a bomb threat against a school.
-----------------------------------
TT - Actually, Fluman is the third fourth teacher who has been accused of making a bomb threat. A Ludlow, Massachusetts teacher was indicted after police examined video footage. The judge ruled the videotape inadmissible, forcing prosecutors to drop the charge.

Thermond, Maryland teacher Michelle Dohm was convicted of making death threats against students. She left threatening notes, including one that read, "Tick-tock, tick-tock, is it a bomb or is it a clock?" She was sentenced to nine months in prison. The judge also ordered Dohm to get psychological counseling.

In Pennsylvania, a middle school teacher is on trial (June 19, 2008) for making terrorist threats.
