Deputies said Morales-Osorio wrote a message on a board inside of the main building indicating that a bomb had been placed in the student office and the college was going to blow up.
The school was evacuated and deputies searched the school, but didn't find anything.
According to the report, Morales-Osorio was spotted and identified in surveillance video near the white board and questioned on Tuesday at the campus. Deputies said he initially denied being responsible for writing the message, but later apologized for lying.
Morales-Osorio told investigators he was bored and didn't mean any harm and that it was supposed to be a joke, according to deputies.
He was booked into Volusia County jail on $50,000 bond.
