STOCKTON, CA - School authorities evacuated Cesar Chavez High School in Stockton Tuesday morning in order to detonate a possible bomb in a backpack, according to authorities.
The school, located at 2929 Windflower Lane, will be closed the rest of the day.
Tim Martinez, spokesman for the Stockton Unified School District, said the backpack was left in a classroom.
Police said the incident began when a student told his teacher that he had a bomb in his backpack. The bomb squad safely detonated the backpack at noon after the campus had been cleared of students and staff.
Officers have arrested the student. It was unknown at this time what charges the student may face.
No one was hurt in the incident.
