TROUTMAN, NC (WBTV)- A Statesville teenager is facing charges after police say she called in a false bomb threat to a Relay for Life event last month.

According to the Troutman Police Department, a 16-year-old girl reported a bomb threat at the Relay for Life event at the Iredell County Fairgrounds on May 17.

The teen told officers that she heard about it from other students at school.  She then gave police two possible names of suspects in the case.

During more in depth interviews, police say they discovered that the teen girl made up the bomb threat and the suspects' names.

She was arrested on Monday and charged with a false bomb report.  She was taken before the magistrate and released back to the custody of her parents.

A derecho is a long-lived squall line of thunderstorms that "bows" as it moves forward, meaning you see an arc instead of a straight line on the radar.  This leads to widespread straight-line wind damage.  By definition, the wind damage swath of a derecho extends at least 240 miles.

Will a derecho form Wednesday?  It's very possible in the upper Midwest and Ohio valley, but we won't really know until the system develops. Regardless, severe storms are expected in that area, with wind damage likely, along with possible tornadoes.

In our part of the Carolinas, a stray storm is possible Wednesday, but the bigger story is heat.  We're headed for the 90s everywhere outside the mountains.  With the humidity, the peak heat indices (what is actually feels like), will peak in the mid to upper 90s.

After the recent carbon monoxide scares this week, emergency responders want to make sure your family is safe from the "silent killer."

"It's the silent killer. You can't see it, you can't smell it and you don't know it's there," said Keith Watts, Gastonia Fire Department.

According to the United State Consumer Product Safety Commission , "On average, about 170 people in the United States die every year from CO produced by non-automotive consumer products. These products include malfunctioning fuel-burning appliances such as furnaces, ranges, water heaters and room heaters."

The Safety Commission also points out that the initial symptoms of low to moderate CO poisoning are similar to the flu.
