Honz Ladd could face terrorism charges after making a fake bomb threat to get a friend out of school early

A Missouri teen went to extreme lengths to help a friend play hooky and now he could face terrorism charges.

Honz Ladd, 17, told police he made a fake bomb threat to get a friend out of school early.

His former school, Republic High School, had to evacuate 1,400 students for hours on November 11 as police investigated the threat.

Parents were told to pick up their children away from the building at the softball parking lot if they didn't ride the bus.

With current Missouri laws, Ladd could face seven years in prison.

Ladd made the threat by going to Google and searching how to submit an anonymous tip.

He said he wrote in a 'paragraph thing' and submitted it through a random website.

KSPR reports Syracuse Police received the threat on their website and soon contacted the Republic Police Department.

Police traced the computer to one in Republic and seized it, cellphones and a bag filled with white powder according to the Springfield News-Leader.

Ladd used the address of Republic High School as his own on the police report. He said he is homeless and was high on methamphetamine when he reported the fake threat.

Ladd was caught after police found out he texted a female student asking if she wanted to get out of school early.

However, in a police statement Ladd said he overheard two people talk about knowing someone who was planning to bomb the school at a McDonald's.

Ladd was charged on November 29 with making a terrorist threat and his bond was set at $10,000. He had previously arrested for property damage and assault.
