HOLLISTER, Calif.- Hollister Police say FBI agents arrested the man accused of calling in bomb threats to San Benito High School all the way from Michigan.
Jason Keith Smith, 27, was arrested Tuesday and charged with the use of interstate communications to make threats.
Smith allegedly used his cell phone to make bomb threats, claiming he had hidden explosives in San Benito High School and threatened to detonate the device.
After making his initial appearance Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Smith will be prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California.
FBI credits the arrest to a thorough joint investigation with the Hollister Police Department.
