A Michigan mother was sentenced this month after authorities said she made a false bomb threat to her daughter’s high school when the teenager was barred from participating in a school play due to an attendance policy violation.
Crystal Royster, 42, of Detroit, pleaded guilty in November 2025 to making a false bomb threat against Lake Shore High School in St. Clair Shores. In January 2026, a Macomb County judge sentenced her to 18 months of probation, including 14 days in jail, stemming from the incident in March 2025. Based on her charges, she could have spent up to 4 years in prison and paid a $5,000 fine.
