Friday brought on another School Threat in Coffee County

August 28, 2022

Friday was another for a threat toward area school.

Coffee County Sheriff’s Department SRO Eric Clem intercepted a text message between students that stated, “Going to bring my AK47 to school and shoot it up.”

The Coffee County Sheriff’s Department says the student responsible for the text is a 15 year-old juvenile and student at the school. The student was immediately arrested and has been formally charged and was transported to juvenile detention center awaiting his court date.

Other threats floated through social media last week, but law enforcement was to stop all possible threats.
