Forest Lake Christian High School: Student Arrested After Allegedly Making Violence Related Criminal Threats
AUBURN, CA — MARCH 6TH 2026 — “Anthony Bondarenko, 18, of Roseville, was arrested by deputies of the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office (NCSO) on March 4, following a criminal threats investigation that began that same day.
On the afternoon of March 4, high school officials at Forest Lake Christian High School in Auburn contacted one of NCSO’s school resource officers to report a student, identified as Bondarenko, had allegedly expressed interest in carrying out a criminal threat of violence the following day at the school.
School was no longer in session at the time of the reporting but with an event taking place that evening, NCSO deputies staffed the school out of an abundance of caution.
The NCSO school resource officer determined Bondarenko was in Rocklin at the time of the reporting. With assistance from the Rocklin Police Department, he was detained in a movie theater parking lot until NCSO deputies arrived.
The investigation resulted in Bondarenko’s arrest for 422(a) – criminal threats to willfully create great bodily harm. He was booked into Wayne Brown Correctional Facility in Nevada City.
“We want to encourage students, faculty, and parents to always report suspicious activity and possible threats of violence,” said NCSO Captain Russell Greene. “For anyone who may fear making such a report, they can always provide tips anonymously on our website or by using our anonymous tip line.”
