LISBON — A pretrial was set at 9:15 a.m. June 22 for Erin M. McGuire, the woman accused of threatening to blow up the Leetonia K-12 school in January.

McGuire, 37, Chestnut Street, Leetonia, had her case transferred back to Columbiana County Municipal Court after the county Grand Jury issued an indictment for misdemeanor aggravated menacing. She had originally been charged in Municipal Court for a first-degree felony of making terrorist threats.

She remains out of jail on bond.

The indictment alleged that McGuire knowingly caused another to believe she would cause serious physical harm to a person or property of another person.

An affidavit previously filed by Leetonia Police alleged that on Jan. 13, McGuire “did advise two students in front of the school that she was gonna blow up the school.”

She then allegedly drove off, and through their investigation, Leetonia police officers located her at her home. According to the police report, the two students were waiting in front of the school for the doors to be unlocked when a black car pulled up and into a parking spot. The driver, a woman, opened her door and was yelling and cursing about the buses and teachers and said she was going to blow up the school, then left the school grounds in the car.

The students reported the incident to the high school principal Tim Fairfield and reviewed video footage with Fairfield and Dan Favazzo, Director of Transportation and Building and Grounds, both identifying the vehicle in question. Officers were able to determine the address and found the vehicle at McGuire’s residence on Chestnut Street.
