16-year-old pleads guilty to 11 felony counts of making terroristic threats at Highland Park High
The 16-year-old boy who made a series of bomb threats at Highland Park High School pleaded guilty May 13 to 11 felony counts of terroristic threat and a misdemeanor charge of marijuana possession, according to the Dallas County District Attorney’s office.
The former Highland Park High School student was sent to a placement facility for rehabilitation and will be released by court order, said Debbie Denmon, spokeswoman for the DA’s office. The 16-year-old’s family will pay for his placement in the facility.
The court will receive semi-monthly updates on the boy’s progress and after he is released, he will be on probation until age 18, Denmon said. The boy and his family must also pay approximately $35,000 in restitution to Highland Park ISD and the University Park Police Department, she said.
If the boy violates the rules and conditions of the facility or of his probation, he may be committed to the Texas Juvenile Justice Department, Denmon said.
