FLORENCE -- Florence police arrested a man for trespassing at Royall Elementary School Monday morning, just a week after they say he threatened to blow up a school official.

Florence police charged James Scott with trespassing on Monday.

This is the second time Scott has been arrested in a week.

Last Thursday, police charged him with threatening the life, person or family of a public official, teacher and/or principal after they say he threatened over the phone to blow up a school official.

Scott has a child who attends Royall Elementary, according to police, and they say he was warned not to go back out to the school after his arrest last week.

Scott will go before a judge Tuesday morning for a bond hearing.

We'll let you know what happens.
