Former Miner may be arrested after bomb threat

UPDATE

: The suspect, believed to be former Miner Chris Craig, has been taken into custody, the Utah County Sheriff's Office said through their spokesman's Twitter account.

The sheriff's office did not confirm that Craig is the suspect. However, Craig emailed the El Paso Times shortly before the incident began. In the email, he threatened Eagle Valley Elementary School.

ORIGINAL: A Utah elementary school was evacuated this afternoon shortly after former UTEP basketball player Chris Craig sent a note to the media threatening the school.

The Provo Daily Herald reports that Eagle Valley Elementary School in Eagle Mountain, Utah, was evacuated after a masked man entered the campus and said "evacuate the kids and no one will get hurt," according to a text message sent out to parents.
