Florida teen Alexxis Anthony, 19, makes fake bomb threat to study for exam-she dropped a bomb



I gotta give this girl credit for creativity.

But, it’s not a good idea to be making bomb threats since 911. It just ain’t cool!

As ways of getting out of attending school go, this could well be unique.

A student was arrested after telling police she made a false bomb threat so her class would be cancelled and she could study for a test.

Alexxis C. Anthony, 19, of Lakeland, Florida, said she was involved in a bomb threat to Polk State College with her friend, Theron K. Brown Jr.

Anthony told police she made the threat because she felt under pressure to keep her grades up because of a college scholarship. The incident on July 28 evacuated the college’s Lakeland campus and was one of three bomb threats made against it in July, reported The Ledger.


But no explosive devices were found despite a threat that one would go off at 9:15am. Anthony was arrested on Tuesday. Police say they expect more arrests and charges to be made, with the other two threats coming from the same mobile phone.

Brown's girlfriend Judeane Curry told investigators that he had called her on the morning of July 28 and said he wanted to make a bomb threat.
