The Longwood Police Department said the threat forced them to put the school on lockdown though no device was found.
Then the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office and the Winter Springs Police Department helped track down the phone number the call came from and identified the phone as belonging to Curtis, who lives in Texas.
It so happens several threatening calls were also made from the same phone number to several places in Guadalupe County, Texas, according to detectives.
The Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office arrested Curtis on local charges, while Longwood detectives got a search warrant for the phone call here in Central Florida.
