Osceola County Sheriff's detectives, in conjunction with the St. Cloud Police Department, arrested two St. Cloud teenage girls after they allegedly made false bomb threats at local high schools.
Dejeane Alexander, 16, of 539 Neptune Bay Circle, St. Cloud and Samantha Ericka Espada, 16, of 960 Buck Drive, St. Cloud were both charged with false report of bomb, criminal use of personal ID information and conspiracy to false report of a bomb.
The investigation began on April 20, when an anonymous tip was called into Crimeline regarding a bomb threat at Harmony High School. The caller named a specific female student who was going to bring a bomb to Harmony High School. A second call to Crimeline was made shortly after stating a male student was bringing a bomb to St. Cloud High School.
Detectives at the Sheriff's Office worked with police department detectives to identify Espada and Alexander, who are cousins. Espada is a student at Harmony High School who was having issues with the person she said would allegedly be bringing a bomb Harmony High School, Sheriff's Office reports said. Alexander is a student at St. Cloud High School who detectives believe made the calls to Crimeline. Both girls were brought in for questioning. Based on the information and evidence, Alexander and Espada were arrested and booked into Orange County Juvenile Detention Center.
