By Howard B. Owens

Kimberly M. Volk, 20, of Batavia is out of jail at the moment, according to a report from the Sheriff's Department.

She is scheduled for a court appearance at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday on a felony charge of falsely reporting an incident, 1st degree.

Volk, who was arrested yesterday, is accused of sending a text message to a friend that read, "I planted a bomb in the library last night, make sure your out of the building by one." 

The Genesee Community College student who received the message notified authorities and the GCC campus was evacuated and the area searched, but no bomb was found.
