SCHAUMBURG, Ill. – A 16-year-old Schaumburg High School student who allegedly said he wanted to make a bomb and was found with gloves, wires and drill bits was charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct, police said Friday.

The student was charged as a juvenile, and his name is not being released, Schaumburg police spokesman John Nebl said.

Students at the school in a northwest suburb of Chicago told authorities they overheard the teen express an interest in making a bomb, Nebl said, but did not report hearing an actual threat against the school. The teen was taken in for questioning Thursday.

Nebl said the charges stemmed from “his statements tied with the suspicious material he had with him. Generally, high school students don’t have drill bits and wires and gloves.”

The incident caused the school to be evacuated before the end of classes Thursday, but classes were back in session a day later. A planned Friday assembly was postponed.

While a rumor developed that the assembly was targeted, Nebl said police have not been able to confirm that was ever the student’s intention. He added that police found no evidence the student would have been able to create a bomb by Friday.

Two other students also were interviewed at the Schaumburg Police Department, but they were released without charges, Nebl said.

The threat followed a week of lock-downs and evacuations at schools around the country in the wake of the Virginia Tech shooting massacre.

Nebl said additional security measures, including extra uniformed police, were in place at the school Friday.

“It’s not as much for threat precaution, but simply to assure the students and parents that everything is under control, the situation is resolved and it’s completely safe to go to school,” he said.
