Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz reports, “On the morning of February 27, 2026, our School Resource Officer at an
area high school received notification from the school principal that a communication of a bomb threat was
transmitted. The investigation revealed that Hooks, a student, communicated through the school computer
system that she had a bomb strapped to her chest. Once the school was deemed safe, statements were obtained
from those involved. Probable cause was established; Hooks was arrested and booked at the St. Landry Parish
Jail.” Sheriff Guidroz concludes, “Misguided people performing illegal acts can create chaos in our schools.
Your Sheriff’s Office will do everything we can to protect our children and school employees.”
