WINNEBAGO COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – An 18-year-old Waupaca man has been convicted for his role in making terrorist threats against two Oshkosh schools.
Andrew Monroe pleaded no contest Wednesday to one count of Making Terrorist Threats while a second count was dismissed but can be considered at sentencing.
On January 10, Monroe dared a friend to phone in a threat to get out of having school the next day.
Oshkosh North and West let students out early on January 11 and closed January 12.
The phone call came from Monroe’s Waupaca home.
Monroe faces up to 3 1/2 years in prison when he is sentenced June 20.
Dylan Bird of Oshkosh is accused of phoning in the threat to ‘shoot up Oshkosh North and West.’ The 18-year-old has a plea hearing April 21.
A 15-year-old student reportedly phoned in an additional threat the next night and is facing charges in juvenile court.
