A bomb threat Thursday morning at Watson Chapel Junior High School was a false alarm, said Pine Bluff Police Department spokeswoman Lt. JoAnn Bates.
Police and Fire and Emergency Services department personnel responded to the school just after 11 a.m. The students were sent outside while a search was conducted.
Nothing was found and police left the scene at about 11:45 a.m.
An investigation into the incident is continuing, Bates said.
