Suffolk, Va.- A 20-year-old student was arrested in connection to a bomb threat made at King’s Fork High School yesterday.

This happened at around 1:00 p.m. when the threat was found written on the wall in the boys’ restroom according to police.

Abdul Dshawn Dixon is in the 11th grade at the high school. He was arrested and charged with threat to bomb which is a class 5 felony.

“Based on what I know, I didn’t think he would be this kind of guy-pretty happy, pretty funny, always joking in class,” said Kyshaun Merchant, a senior at King’s Fork High School. “You know that’s pretty much how I knew him.”

Tuesday’s threat marks at least eight bomb threats at Suffolk schools in recent weeks. Whether Dixon is involved in any others, authorities aren’t saying.

Lakeland High School had two threats and King’s Fork Middle School had four.
