Police allege a Michigan teacher left a note in his classroom threatening to blow up the school.

The Hazel Park Junior High School teacher is alleged to have written the fake threat to have classes canceled and get a day off, a local news outlet reported.

Paul Jacobs, a social studies teacher, according to reports, is charged with "making an intentional threat to commit acts of violence against a school, school employees or students" and was arraigned last week on February 4. The misdemeanor charge means Jacobs could face one year in prison if convicted.

At the end of the school day on February 2, another staff member found the bomb threat note in Jacob's classroom, according to the Hazel Park Police Department, WXYZ Detroit reported. The note said the school would be blown up the following day.

Law enforcement searched the school that evening with bomb-sniffing K-9s and dozens of police officers but did not find any explosives or "any signs of danger," WXYZ Detroit reported.

While local police initially thought the 40-year-old saw and failed to report the threat, they now allege Jacobs wrote the note himself.

"Threats that continue to happen in schools are traumatizing for kids," she said. "I don't think you are ever numb to it," Hazel Park Schools superintendent Dr. Amy Kruppe told WXYZ Detroit.

False threats against schools have been a recurring problem in the state, Detroit News reported, as multiple threatening phone calls were reported by Michigan schools recently.

Jacobs, from Livonia, has a court date set for February 28. His bond is set at $10,000.
