Hawkins County Students Arrested After Suspicious Device Found at a School 

Two students are charged after a device resembling an explosive is found at a Hawkins County School.

The Hawkins County Sheriff’s Office says school resource officers were notified of a rumor of a possible explosive device on school property at Volunteer High School yesterday ( Wednesday), so the school was placed on a green lockdown.

Law enforcement found a device resembling an explosive which was determined to be non-operational and non-explosive.

After the two students were charged, the lockdown was lifted.

No students or staff members at the school were in danger at any time.
