BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — A 56-year-old man accused of making threats against Bowling Green High School was indicted Monday.

Daniel Stinehart is charged with one count of inducing panic. Police say he called in a bomb threat to BGHS Sept. 10.

Stinehart was arraigned in Wood County Court on Oct. 18 and was released on an own recognizance bond. He is due back in court Dec. 20. 

He faces a maximum prison sentence of eight years and a $15,000 fine.

All Bowling Green City Schools students were evacuated the day of the incident as a voicemail insinuated there was an explosive somewhere in a district building.

 According to a letter sent home to parents, the message stated: 

"There is something in one of your school buildings that is going to go boom boom. You better get before it goes boom boom. Bye Boo."
