The call came in to administrative staff at the YCS School at 3:11 p.m. yesterday, Capt. Stanley Zon said.
“The school had already dismissed the student population and only faculty and administrative staff were still present,” Zon said.
“Through caller identification of the phone number and familiarity of the voice, YCS staff were available to recognize the caller,” the captain said.
Detectives last night found the girl and briefly took her into custody, he said.
They signed delinquency complaints of making terroristic threats and flase public alarms, which will be heard behind closed door in the Family Division of Superior Court in Hackensack.
“The Fort Lee Police Department takes threats and false calls very seriously,” Zon said. “Any party identified will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”
