One bomb threat was made at the Orange Grove Center on Jan. 13, and the second one was made at Chattanooga Christian School on Jan. 18, according to Chattanooga Fire Department spokesman Bruce Garner.

In both incidents, no explosive devices were found.

Investigators charged the girl with two separate counts of filing a false report, according to Garner.

Lt. Anthony Moore with the fire investigation division said the girl was taken to the Juvenile Detention Center for booking.

Chattanooga police and fire Investigator Lt. Henry McElvain provided assistance with the investigation, Garner said.
