(WWJ) A woman who pleaded guilty to making a false bomb threat at the St. Clair Shores high school where her daughter attends has been sentenced to probation.
According to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office, 42-year-old Crystal Royster of Detroit made two false reports of a bomb at Lake Shore High School on March 12 of last year.
Investigators said Royster was upset that her daughter wasn't allowed to participate in a school play, due to a school policy that bars students from taking part in after school activities if they are out sick or leave school early.
Over 700 people were evacuated from the school building, but no bombs were found.
Prosecutors said Royster pleaded guilty to one count of False Report or Threat of a Bomb in connection with the incident.
She will serve 18 months probation with the first 14 days in the Macomb County Jail. The judge ordered that Royster cannot have contact with the victims, must notify the school before she has contact with the grounds, and must complete a Class A impulse control class.
Prosecutor Pete Lucido said, in a statement: “The defendant was sentenced today for making a false bomb report that resulted in a significant emergency response. While the court determined that probation was the appropriate outcome, her actions nonetheless caused disruption and concern within the community."
