Hazel Green, AL (WAFF) -

A Hazel Green High School student was arrested Friday after investigators say she made a bomb threat earlier in the day.

Students were evacuated from Hazel Green High School after a bomb threat was made to the school Friday morning.

Officers and K9 units searched the school while students waited on the football field.

Officials said nothing was found during that search and students were allowed to return to class around 11:30 a.m.

The Sheriff's Office opened a criminal investigation to find out who wrote the note which alerted the threat.

They arrested a 16-year-old female student of the school. More arrests may be made in the case.

The teen was booked into the Neeves/Davis Center. She was charged with one count of making a terrorist threat, which is a Class C Felony.
