Bucks Co. Teacher Busted For Alleged Bomb Threats

DOYLESTOWN, Pa.― A Bucks County elementary school teacher has been charged with terrorizing her own school with bomb threats.

Investigators said the apparently disgruntled educator made phone calls, left notes, and wrote threats on school walls.

Susan Romanyszyn, a former teacher at Longstreth Elementary School, turned herself into authorities on Thursday. Romanyszyn has been charged with 17 counts of terroristic threats.

Police said Romanyszyn left over a dozen threatening notes at the Warminster school. Police said she wrote on schools walls and wrote "die kill them all" on one occasion.

Police allege Romanyszyn left a water bottle in the school on another occasion that contained a white substance and screws.

The investigation began in October 2007 and Romanyszyn was placed on administrative leave after becoming a suspect in the threats.

Police believe Romanyszyn, who reportedly taught at the school for three years, was making the threats in retaliation for being passed over for a job.

Investigators received a break in the case when a fingerprint on one of the threatening notes matched Romanyszyn's.

"She actually put a great deal of fear in the community, in the school and for students at the school," Bucks County District Attorney Michele Henry said.

Parents were shocked and outraged by the charges against Romanyszyn.

"I am absolutely disgusted that a teacher can do these things," one parent said.

Romanyszyn's bail has been set at $1 million, Romanyszyn said in court she plans to post the 10-percent required to be released from jail.
