MARLIN — An inmate from a West Texas county jail made a prank phone call to a Marlin school that was far from funny.

At 2:45 p.m. on Monday a Marlin Elementary School secretary received a phone call from inmate Willie Solomon who told her there was a bomb in the school.

The elementary school and the middle school were evacuated and moved to the high school. After the school was evacuated police, firefighters and deputies arrived on the scene.

Fire fighters searched through every classroom to make sure there was no bomb in the school.
