Newark police say a sixth-grader is in custody in connection with a racially-charged email bomb threat targeting Newton Elementary school yesterday. Classes are being held as scheduled today. The threat was discovered by a staff member on the in-house computer. Police say the boy has no connection to two letters last week threatening violence at Utica High School homecoming activities over interracial dating.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
