Charge Laid Over Threats That Forced Wawa Schools Lockdown

A Wawa man's been charged over threats that forced local schools to lockdown on Friday.

Superior East Ontario Provincial Police Constable Ashley Nickle says they responded to threats reported by a third party around 1:20 pm Friday afternoon.

Constable Nickle says all of the schools were locked down as precaution, as the man's location was unclear when the threats were reported.

A 30-year-old Wawa man's been charged with a single count of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, but was released from custody, with a March court date.
