Law enforcement warns of consequences of school threats

Law enforcement agencies across the state of Kentucky are continuing to deal with threats made against school districts stemming from social media.

The Elizabethtown Police Department began last week with the arrest of a juvenile that made a threat that was found to be non-credible against T.K. Stone Middle School, and ended the week with the arrest of suspects that were found to have called in a threat to the Ohio State School for the Blind. EPD Public Information Officer Chris Denham says any threat is investigated fully and perpetrators face punishment.

“Our region has been flooded with legitimate as well as non-credible threats to schools over the past couple of weeks,” Dehnam said. “I want to urge all parents and guardians to speak with their children about the seriousness of making threats. It’s not a joke, and these actions carry real consequences including arrest and detention.”

The Grayson County Sheriff’s Office says a juvenile was arrested after they made a threat against Grayson County High School, and the Vine Grove Police Department says a juvenile was arrested for making a threat against James T. Alton Middle School. Breckinridge County Schools released a statement to parents advising them to talk with their students about the use of social media platforms such as SnapChat.

Denham says if you hear or see something suspicious, say something.

“If they hear of any rumors or know of any threats, please report them immediately to their law enforcement,” Denham said “Any threats that you’re aware of that are taking place in Hardin County can also be relayed anonymously to Hardin County Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-597-8123 or by visiting p3tips.com.”

The Kentucky State Police sent out a release last week reminding residents that any threat to attack a school will be investigated as a charge of Terroristic Threatening, a felony offense.
