Former Officer Anthony Siwinski Arrested for Terrorist Threats

A former Philadelphia police officer who worked as a school aid has been arrested in connection with ammunition discovered at Bensalem High School.

Anthony Siwinski was charged with terrorist threats, recklessly endangering another person and related charges, and sent to Bucks County Prison in lieu of $50,000 bail, Bensalem police said.

On May 8, Siwinski had asked a student to take a piece of trash out of a water fountain, police said. The "trash" was several bullets wrapped in a threatening note.

The note said an assistant at the schools "was to die," while another note found later at the school stated the author hated the assistant and a bomb was going off "within the hour," police said.

Following an investigation, police identified Siwinski as the alleged author of the notes.
