Juvenile apprehended after alleged threat made at Bluegrass Middle School

The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office responded to an alleged threat at Bluegrass Middle School Wednesday.

“An investigation was immediately initiated by the school resource deputy, quickly identifying the student that made the threat who will face consequences set forth in the Hardin County School’s Code of Acceptable Behavior along with juvenile court action,” said Hardin County Sheriff John Ward.

The sheriff says parents should remind their children to act responsibly.

“We ask everyone to please stress to your children that a threat in no way can be considered a joke and will be dealt with appropriately,” Ward said.

The sheriff’s office says at no time were any students or staff at Bluegrass Middle School in any danger.
