BATTLE CREEK, MI - One teen is in custody after making a bomb threat against Lakeview Middle School that prompted the Lakeview School District to cancel classes district-wide Tuesday, police said.

Two separate notes were found in two different locations advising a threat towards Lakeview Middle School.
