MOUNTAIN VIEW HIGH STUDENTS HELD IN THREAT: Three Mountain View High School students were arrested today for allegedly making unspecified online threats, police said.

The three juveniles, whose names were withheld because of their ages, posted threats on a social media site "that referenced potential harm to students and staff at Mountain View High School," police said. Investigators learned of the posts on Sunday night.

Katie Nelson, Mountain View police spokeswoman, declined to outline the alleged threats but said they had nothing to do with the "creepy clown" hoax cases that have swept across the country.

The three students were detained and arrested on suspicion of making threats and conspiracy. 

Police increased their presence on campus as a precaution.

"We want to take a moment to remind those who use social media that anything that is posted that comes across as a threat will be taken seriously. Students and staff should feel safe at all times at their school, and if you see something that is of concern, either in person or on the Internet, call us," police said.

TRIO HELD IN BURGLARY - ONE BITTEN BY K-9: A burglary suspect who tried to hide in an attic was bitten by a police dog after he kicked the animal in the head, police said.;

Teofilo Ponce, 39, of Santa Clara was bitten in the ankle after he resisting arrest, police said.

The incident happened at a home on the 700 block of Mendecino Way about 9:15 p.m. Sunday when a woman called police to report that she saw a stranger going into her home.

Officers arrived and called into the home ordering anyone inside to come out.

Gilbert Pimental, 33, of Milpitas and Rachel Delgadillo, 35, of Morgan Hill came to the door and were arrested on suspicion of burglary.

The two told officers that a third suspect was hiding inside "because he was wanted," police said.

That's when police sent in an officer and his dog Bosco. They eventually ended up near the attic and demanded that anyone inside should come out. 

There was no response.

The officer sent Bosco in, and the dog found Ponce hiding in a corner, authorities said.

Ponce did not want to give up, police said. He kicked the dog three times in the head, authorities said.

Despite being pummeled, Bosco "clamped down on the suspect's ankle," police said. He suffered minor injuries and was taken into custody.
