Peachtree City police used

phone records to identify two juvenile suspects accused of phoning in

a bomb threat to McIntosh High School on the second anniversary of the

Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States.

And other information led to

the arrest of a 13-year-old juvenile for calling in a separate bomb threat

against the Peachtree City Wal-Mart Saturday.

One of the suspects in the

McIntosh hoax is 16 and a student at McIntosh while the other is a 15-year-old

home-schooled student, police said. Both suspects live in Peachtree City,

police said.

One of the juveniles was charged

with one felony count of making terroristic threats and the other was

charged with one felony count of making terrorist threats (party to a

crime), police said.

In the Wal-Mart case, the 13-year-old

was arrested Saturday after police developed other information leading

to the suspect's identification, police said. The juvenile called

the bomb threat into the Fayette County 911 Communication Center, police

said.

The 13-year-old has also been

charged with making terroristic threats.

All three juveniles are in

the custody of parents or guardians while awaiting their court hearing

in Fayette County Juvenile Court.
