Welcome to WATM news centre.
We got the wrong man.
That is what state police are
saying tonight after they
arrested a man from state
college with making terroristic
threats towards a Blair County
school district last week.
But, they now have a warrant
for a different person.
Marshall Keely spoke to the
district attorney about what
went wrong he joins us live with
the latest on this case.
Last week, every
school in Hollidaysburg area
school district received
terroristic threats, phone
calls made by an individual
identifying himself as Mr.
Fantastic.
Blair county district attorney
said they have to take those threats
seriously and act quickly.
Court documents say the caller
warned something was going to happen
very quickly. It gave a
deadline of 5:00 pm last
Friday.
Consiglio says two school
administrators identified the
color as a former intern of the
district.
Police arrested and charge him with
making terroristic threats and
risking catastrophe on Friday.
Meanwhile Consiglio said the Logan
Township police put out a warrant
for Javier Cantos in connection with a
different case.
Consiglio said they discovered that
he was in the hospital.
Javier cantos is also ties to
the Hollidaysburg are school district
after obtaining a search warrant Consiglio
said state police found messages on his phone.
On Sunday, state police
announced they will withdraw all charges
against the former intern.
Despite the result, Consiglio said the police
responded to the threat appropriately.
"Actions had to be taken.
Right now, obviously, they were
wrong.
It is because of the
consequences of what happened.
Again, the police did what they
had to do.
It is under the circumstances."
State police said they
have been unable to serve the
warrant for Javier Cantos'
arrest at this point.
