AMandan woman has been charged with terrorizing for allegedly making remarks about a "blood bath" at a Mandan school.

Ella Bowen-Davis, 40, was charged Friday with the Class C felony. South Central District Judge Sonna Anderson allowed Bowen-Davis to be released on a $2,500 unsecured bond, which means she does not have to post the money unless she fails to follow bond conditions.

Anderson ordered Bowen-Davis to turn over any firearms or dangerous weapons that may be in her home to the Mandan Police Department. She also prohibited Bowen-Davis from being within 100 yards of any Mandan public school and from having contact with any faculty, staff, administration or students besides her children at Fort Lincoln Elementary School.

Police said Bowen-Davis was arrested Wednesday morning after a confrontation at Fort Lincoln Elementary School. They said Bowen-Davis had gone to the school to talk with a principal about a bus driver, who also is her neighbor, and was unhappy with the outcome of the discussion.

According to the complaint filed against Bowen-Davis, she told the principal of the school that relatives of hers from Tennessee would be coming to watch her children at school. The complaint alleges that she said, "And if it takes a blood bath, it's going to be a blood bath."

Morton County State's Attorney Allen Koppy requested a $2,500 cash or surety bond for Bowen-Davis. He also requested the no firearms and no contact with Mandan schools provisions, and he called Mandan Police Detective Jon Vanderhoef to the testify as to why they felt those provisions were necessary.

Vanderhoef said Bowen-Davis has convictions on her criminal history out of Shelby County, Tenn., for larceny and forgery. He said she also had been charged in 1997 with aggravated robbery, but she pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of possession of a dangerous weapon in a public place.

Vanderhoef also said he had investigated an incident involving Bowen-Davis' son and son-in-law in May, in which he learned that guns were in the family home. Bowen-Davis said the guns are no longer allowed in her house.

Vanderhoef said school officials were concerned for their safety, and they did not want Bowen-Davis at any Mandan schools
