• Student arrested for threatening to bomb Central High
• 16-year-old charged with intimidation, written threat

The Hernando County Sheriff's Office received at least two complaints Monday regarding a bomb threat against Central High. 

The people who notified the sheriff's office said they had been playing an online trivia game application called "Game Show," when a player with the username of "Nidolabz" commented on the messaging screen saying, "I am going to set off an explosive at Central High School, Spring Hill, Florida tomorrow."

The other players took screenshots of the comments and alerted authorities. 

Detectives were able to trace the username to a student at Springstead High School and made contact with him at his home. The student told deputies that his friend, a 16-year-old male, is the person who utilizes the username "Nidolabz." 

Once deputies made contact with teen who admitted to make the threat saying it was a "joke."

The teen was arrested and charged with intimidation and written threats to kill or injure.
