Terroristic Charges Filed in Twitter Incident



An 18 year old Senior at Scranton Prep was charged this afternoon with two felony counts of making terroristic threats. Torre Scrimalli of Scranton was arraigned by a Lackawanna County Magistrate and released on unsecured bail. Officials say Scrimalli's post on Twitter last night indicating he would "blow up" two local schools caused the evacuation of Mid Valley High School during a basketball game between Mid Valley and Holy Cross High Schools. The game will resume tonight at 7. Each of the counts facing Scrimalli carry a possible 7 year sentence.

Scrimalli's mother, Rita, called in to WILK's Webster and Nancy:
