A 17-year-old Stratford High School student was arrested this morning at his home for creating multiple threats on Instagram against the school yesterday.
Investigation by Specialized Investigations detectives and school administration led to the identification of the student. The teen admitted to making the posts, but had no actual plans of hurting anyone.
He was charged with threatening mass violence in a school and making a false report of an emergency.
Threats against schools, special events and businesses are taken very seriously by the MNPD.
