BATTLE CREEK, Neb. -- Yet another person has been taken into custody related to a school threat in Nebraska, this time in Battle Creek. 

Madison County Sheriff's officials said a juvenile was arrested at the high school about 10 miles west of Norfolk on Thursday. 

Law enforcement was called to the school after several students reported being threatened with physical harm by the student. 

No weapons were found. 

They've since been lodged at the Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Detention Center in Madison. 

This is after arrests or citations were made related to separate threats at schools in Norfolk, Columbus, and Grand Island earlier this week, while a 14-year-old is being charged as an adult in Douglas County related to the shooting of a classmate at Northwest High School.
