A 41-year-old Florida mother was arrested this week after being accused of threatening to blow up her son's school because he wanted more food at lunch.

Law enforcement officials said the woman, Anaya Smith, was taken into custody on Wednesday and charged with making a false bomb threat, The Associated Press and WOFL reported.

Per WOFL, police said someone called Cocoa High School and left a threatening voicemail filled with obscenities on February 3.

"If you don't start feeding my mother f---ing children better at that b---h I'm gonna come round that b---h and blow that mother f---er up," the person allegedly said, according to the outlet — citing court records.

The school was evacuated, and no explosives were found on the premises, according to the reports. Although she reportedly didn't identify herself, Smith's number was shown on caller ID.

According to the affidavit, an investigation into the matter revealed that her son got into an argument with a cafeteria worker over food portions the same day as the voicemail.

In addition, an SRO officer said he recognized Smith's on the recording due to having previous confrontations with her, WFOL reported. The AP reported that prosecutors filed paperwork ordering Smith's arrest on April 7.

However, Smith told WFOL that she doesn't "talk like that" — referring to the voicemail, and said she is innocent.

"It was just total shock," she told WOFL while leaving the jail facility. "Especially when you're sitting in there, and you know you haven't done anything wrong."
